China 2008 annual renewals due: Are you up to speed?

By Chris Devonshire-Ellis

Government departments need your reports for various business license renewals

By Chris Devonshire-Ellis

It?s that time of year again folks, timed right at the end of the calendar year, and just when westernized business administrators are thinking of skiing holidays, the kids at home and New Years parties ? the atheist, yet pragmatic Chinese government insist we get all our business documentation in order to permit us to trade next year. Every year this happens, like clockwork, and every year, foreign businesses in China get caught out. So here, hot off the desk of Dezan Shira & Associates China compliance department (who are all wearing nifty little Dongguan-made Santa Claus hats in the office at this time) is the run down on what you need to be doing, who you need to be talking to and what you need to be filing. Or else it will be a cold and unproductive January after the festivities, and that?s no way to start a New Year.
