Important Compliance Notes

Consulting and Coordination Support, Not Government Approval

YOUYI is not a government authority or law firm. We provide consulting, document guidance, bookkeeping coordination and compliance support.

We also do not act as a tax authority or audit firm, and we do not determine filing results or penalties.

Final filing requirements, review results and potential penalties depend on the company’s actual records, tax status, filing history, local requirements and authority review.

Final filing requirements depend on company type, registration location, business model, tax status, accounting records, local authority requirements and actual company information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Annual Compliance Questions for Foreign-Invested Companies

These answers provide general guidance. Filing requirements and outcomes depend on the company’s actual situation and authority review.

Does every foreign-invested company in China need annual compliance?

Foreign-invested companies generally have ongoing reporting, accounting and tax obligations after registration. The exact annual work depends on company type, location, tax status, activities and current authority requirements.

What is the annual business report in China?

It is an annual enterprise information report containing company and operating information required by the applicable market regulation system. The information should reflect the company’s actual records and current registration details.

When should a company prepare annual compliance work?

Preparation should begin early enough to review records, resolve missing information and confirm the current filing requirements and deadlines that apply to the company. Requirements should be checked for each compliance cycle.

Does a company with no revenue still need tax filing?

Having little or no revenue does not automatically remove tax filing, bookkeeping or annual reporting obligations. The company should confirm its filing status and submit the required information based on its actual situation.

What happens if annual reporting is missed?

Missing required reporting may lead to follow-up requirements, public status issues, restrictions or potential penalties, depending on the filing, the company’s history and authority review. The company should assess the issue promptly and follow the applicable correction process.

Does annual compliance include accounting and tax filing?

Annual compliance can involve business reporting, accounting records, financial information, corporate income tax reconciliation, other tax filings and consistency checks. The applicable items depend on the company.

How does YOUYI reduce annual compliance filing risk?

We check accounting records, tax filing history, annual report data and company registration information before filing. When records are incomplete, we identify the correction path before submission.

What should I prepare before consultation?

Prepare the business license, registration information, accounting records, bank statements, invoices, tax filing records, payroll information where applicable, prior annual filings and details of any company changes during the year.
