Accounting / Tax Compliance

China Accounting and Tax Compliance Guide for Foreign Companies

Foreign-invested companies need a monthly rhythm for invoices, bank records, bookkeeping, tax filing and annual compliance.

Monthly workflow

  • Collect contracts, invoices and bank records
  • Review fapiao and transaction evidence
  • Bookkeeping and account classification
  • Tax filing coordination
  • Monthly reporting and issue list

Tax and fapiao points

VAT filing, fapiao issuance and bank records should be reviewed together. Mismatches often create questions during monthly or annual review.

Preparation checklist

  • Bank statements
  • Sales contracts
  • Supplier invoices
  • Payroll information
  • Fapiao records
  • Company license and tax registration details

Common issues we see in practice

  • Invoices arrive late
  • Bank payments do not match contracts
  • Payroll and social insurance data are separated from accounting
  • Annual compliance starts without cleaned monthly records
Practical note: Before consultation, prepare investor information, the expected business activity, product or service details, preferred location, permit questions and the planned staffing or accounting workflow.
