Tax & Accounting Solution in China
Eliminate all risks in China by outsourcing your tax & accounting in China to local experts.
Outsource your tax compliance & accounting
Once a representative office or WFOE is set up and registered in China, it is necessary to maintain proper records and accounts in line with Chinese accounting laws and principles. Periodic reporting of accounts and tax to authorities needs to be made. A full annual audit is also required of every company registered in China, including all forms of Foreign Invested Enterprise (FIE). For an FIE this is vital – as it is a pre-requisite for being able to start the repatriation of profit process.
This is no different to requirements in most countries – and accounting of course is nothing new! But without doubt, adapting to the rules and standards of tax and accounting in China is not straightforward.

Chinese Accounting Standards
The Chinese accounting system follows the Chinese Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) framework, also known as Chinese Accounting Standards (CAS). These standards have evolved over time and are now quite in line with the globally recognized International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and also US GAAP. There are however enough differences to present challenges.
To give one important example, CAS uses different valuation methods for fixed assets. IFRS allows valuation either by historical cost or by revaluation of assets, whereas CAS insists on the historical cost principle. There are also regular discrepancies which occur between Chinese and International Standards not due to disagreement in treatment, but slow update processes. Changes released into one system often take some time to be adopted in the other.
The benefits of outsourcing tax
There are several advantages to outsourcing tax and accounting services:
- The complex areas of Chinese accounting standards and tax reporting are entrusted to a company which deeply understand them.
- Less internal company time taken up on administration and reporting, resources are free to focus on real business tasks.
- Our accountants are always up to date with rules and regulations, and are well informed of current or future changes.
- Regular and accurate submissions to Chinese authorities are very important. There can be strict penalties for late or incorrect submission.
- We can advise on tax structures and planning, which can drastically reduce your taxes.
