One fee · one calendar · one contact
A foreign-invested company in China has the same four obligations every year: a statutory audit, a corporate income tax settlement, a foreign-exchange inspection, and an annual report filing. Most firms sell these separately, which means four engagements, four document requests, and four chances to miss a date. We do all four for one fixed fee, against one calendar, with one person who answers in English.
The compliance year
Four deadlines govern the year for a foreign-invested company in China. Two of them are hard dates with automatic penalties. Here is the whole year on one page.
Books closed and fieldwork
Year-end close agreed, adjusting entries identified, and the audit started. This is the cheap window: problems found now are fixable.
CIT annual settlement
Corporate income tax settlement for the previous year, filed. Late filing carries a surcharge of 0.05% of the tax per day, applied automatically.
Combined annual report + FX inspection
The combined annual report, carrying the audited financial statements, is filed through the national enterprise credit system. The foreign-exchange annual inspection falls in the same window.
Monthly and quarterly filings
VAT, individual income tax, social insurance and stamp duty run monthly or quarterly. Missed months are what turn a clean year-end into an expensive one.
Calendar shown is for a typical calendar-year foreign-invested entity. If your year end differs, the dates move with it and we will set them out in the engagement letter.
Indicative fee
Put in your revenue or total assets and tick what you need. The number that comes out is the fixed fee we quote — on the published fee scale, not a figure invented per enquiry.
Enter your revenue or total assets above and the price appears here.
What the package covers
The individual services are straightforward. What costs foreign-invested companies money is the space between them — the document requested twice, the deadline discovered late, the filing nobody was quite sure had been done.
Year-end audit under PRC auditing standards, with the signed opinion, the management letter, and the GAAP reconciliation schedule. Five to ten working days depending on size.
The corporate income tax settlement for the year, filed by 31 May. Five working days, two on the express option. Adjustment schedule issued in English.
The annual FX filing for foreign-invested entities, prepared and submitted, with the confirmation sent back to you.
The combined annual report through the national enterprise credit system, carrying the audited figures, filed by 30 June.
Every fee already includes English and Chinese bilingual reports and filing submitted on your behalf. We do not itemise that as an extra — for a foreign-invested client it is simply how the work has to be done.
Add when you need them
From ¥500 per month. Representative offices: ¥500 per month. We keep the books in a state that makes the year end cheap rather than expensive.
Adjusted accounts reconciled to IFRS or your group basis, in your format, with the working papers your group auditor will ask for.
If this entity is closing instead. Seven working days for the audit, and the whole closure sequence handled in order.
FAQ
One fieldwork visit, one document request, one set of reconciliations. The savings are real rather than a marketing discount, and the calculator shows exactly what they are.
No. Tick only what you need in the calculator. The discount grows with the number of services because that is where our duplicated work disappears.
The dates move with your year end. The settlement is due five months after it and the combined annual report within six. We set the actual dates out in the engagement letter.
Yes, and they are built into the fee rather than listed as a surcharge. For a foreign-invested client that is simply how the work has to be done.
Take the parts you need. We will work from the previous auditor’s files where they are usable, and tell you plainly where they are not.
Send the entity type, the year end and what you think you need. We come back within one business day with a written scope, a fixed fee and dates.
