Common Compliance Risks
Tax Status Becoming Abnormal
Best practice: An abnormal tax condition disrupts operations, invites regulatory scrutiny, and complicates future filings, banking, and administrative matters.
Invoice Mismatch or Missing Cost Invoices
Best practice: Missing cost invoices or transactional mismatches inflate tax liabilities and weaken the company’s ability to defend its records during audits.
Bank Account Review or Freezing Risk
Best practice: Poor compliance records can trigger additional bank reviews and, in serious cases, restrictions on operational accounts.
Work Visa and Residence Status Affected by Company Compliance
Best practice: Corporate compliance failures can create downstream complications for foreign founders and employees seeking work visa or residence renewals.
Foreign Shareholder Information Not Updated on Time
Best practice: Failing to update corporate records on time creates avoidable administrative complications and exposure to reporting penalties.

Explore ServiceFrequently Asked Questions
What happens if a WFOE misses a monthly or quarterly filing?
A missed filing can result in an abnormal tax status, which disrupts normal business operations and can affect banking, license renewal, and future visa-related matters for the company and its foreign staff.
Does a company with no revenue still need to file tax returns?
Yes. A registered company in China is required to file tax returns regardless of whether there is any revenue or operating activity during the period.
How does poor company compliance affect work visa renewals for foreign employees?
Banks and immigration authorities may review the company's compliance profile when processing visa or residence permit renewals. An abnormal compliance record can complicate or delay these applications.
Do small or micro enterprises in China still need bookkeeping?
Yes. Small or micro status does not remove bookkeeping or tax filing duties in China. Monthly records and on-time filings are still required to keep a normal tax status, even when business volume is low. Kerui provides licensed bookkeeping and tax filing support; the final scope depends on the operating model and invoice volume.
