Shanghai is located in the Yangtze River Delta. The
municipality sits on the southern edge of the estuary of the
Yangtze River in the middle portion of the East China coast.
It borders the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the north, south and
west, and is bounded to the east by the East China Sea.
Shanghai is the commercial and financial center of China, and
ranks 5th in the 2018 edition of the Global Financial Centres Index (and third most competitive in Asia after Singapore and Hong Kong) published by the Z/Yen Group and Qatar Financial Centre Authority. It also ranks the most expensive city to live
in Mainland China, according to the study of Economist Intelligence Unit in 2017. It was the largest and most
prosperous city in East Asia during the 1930s, and rapid re-development began in the
1990s. This is exemplified by the Pudong District, a former
swampland reclaimed to serve as a pilot area for integrated economic reforms
There are 16 districts under Shanghai's administration:
Songjiang, Changning, Fengxian, Jingan, Jiading, Jinshan, Baoshan, Yangpu,
Xuhui, Qingpu, Huangpu, Hongkou, Minhang, Putuo, Pudong New Area, and
Chongming.
Once your business is officially registered in Shanghai, it's required to maintain proper accounting records in accordance with accounting standards in China and to report taxes on both monthly (for business tax, individual income tax) and quarterly (corporate income tax) basis. Late submissions will face penalties and surcharges.
When foreign companies come to Shanghai to set up Small Medium Enterprises, one of the headaches is to find an English-speaking professional accounting & tax advisory and agency firm. Even there is help from local professionals, due to language and communication problems, it is still hard for investors to find the correct way of investment and to completely understand the local investment and tax policy. Furthermore, it is hard for the foreign investors to set up a complete and legal financial & tax system as well as the related procedures. Therefore, different kinds of incompliant problems regarding tax and legal areas will be accumulated with the invested company and lead to serious legal risks step by step.
A lucky investor may get the fluent English-speaking internal accountant by recruitment, but it does not mean the invested company no longer needs an external consultant. Due to the professional limitation of internal accountant, particularly when it comes to comprehensive issues regarding taxation, customs, foreign exchange, labor, banks and so on, it is hard for the internal accountant to propose sophisticated professional advice and options to the company’s management.
During the practical operating, many small and medium sized companies conclude that full time cashier and full time accountant cost a lot and create certain burden for operation. Meanwhile, as they might not be full occupied by works due to the limited work load. To be successful, any enterprise regardless its size often needs a financial and accounting expertise.Outsource your accounting project to us is the best solution to this problem
