Accounting Services for WFOEs in China

Once your WFOE company is officially registered in China, it’s required to maintain proper accounting records in accordance with accounting standards in China and to report taxes on both monthly (for value add tax (VAT), individual income tax/salary tax, etc..) and quarterly (corporate income tax) basis. Late submissions will face penalties and surcharges by tax department.
