Why Ongoing Tax Compliance Matters After Registration

Bookkeeping and Tax Filing Are Mandatory

Registered entities in China must maintain continuous bookkeeping and tax filing to avoid severe penalties and forced operational suspensions.

Zero-Filing Does Not Remove Risk

Relying blindly on zero-filing without aligning with actual operations exposes the company to sudden audits and long-term compliance liabilities.

Key Tax and Invoice Risks Foreign Companies Should Watch

VAT Invoice Compliance

Rigorous VAT invoice management ensures bookkeeping accuracy and tax reporting quality, so transaction records hold up during regulatory reviews.

Missing Cost Invoices

Incomplete cost invoices artificially inflate tax exposure and severely weaken the company's ability to defend its accounting records during audits.

Related-Party Transaction Risk

Foreign-owned structures with cross-border links require disciplined financial documentation to prevent transfer pricing scrutiny and related-party transaction penalties.

Tax Inspection Response

If your filing history has gaps, walking into an inspection with a prepared explanation and supporting documents matters more than improvising answers on the spot.

Bookkeeping Services Backed by a Licensed Operation

Kerui holds an officially issued Bookkeeping Agency License, confirming that the bookkeeping and accounting services are operated by a qualified and authorized team — not outsourced or handled informally.

Why Licensing Matters for Your Compliance

Working with a licensed bookkeeping agency means your financial records are maintained to the standard required by Chinese authorities. This directly protects your company during tax inspections, annual audits, and regulatory reviews.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a WFOE need an annual report every year?

Yes. The annual report must be completed each year, with the standard deadline on May 31.

How much does bookkeeping service cost per year?

The service starts from $1,000 per year. The final fee depends on the operating model, invoice volume, and actual compliance workload.

Can annual filing be done without monthly filing?

No. Monthly filing is a required part of ongoing compliance in China, regardless of operating status.

What if the books were not handled properly before?

Kerui can support corrective filing and backlog review. The final scope and pricing depend on the actual record condition and filing history.

What is the minimum monthly social insurance cost per employee?

The minimum monthly social insurance contribution varies by city and salary base. Kerui can confirm the exact figure for your case.
