China Company Annual Compliance Guide
Audits, annual reports and filings to stay in good standing.
This guide is currently available in English only.
The annual checklist
- Annual CIT settlement and payment — by 31 May

- Statutory audit where thresholds apply
- Registered address and licence renewals
- Trademark monitoring and renewal deadlines
- Social insurance base adjustments (city schedules)
Why it matters
China's public credit system links filings to your company's — and your legal representative's — record. Late or missed annual items trigger penalties, bank restrictions and partner due-diligence failures.
Records to keep
Accounting books, fapiao, contracts and bank statements should be retained for ten years or more. Good archives make audits, financing and eventual exit straightforward.
We handle it
Full Service accounting clients get the entire annual cycle managed: audit coordination, CIT settlement, annual report and renewal reminders — with one accountable manager.
