Registering a company is only the first step in starting a business; the real test just begins the day you get your license.

Many bosses think that the company license in hand can be operated at ease. Until one day to receive the "abnormal operation" text message, or go to the bank to transfer money to find that the account is frozen, only to realize: the original company is the need to "raise".

In 2026, with the full implementation of Golden Tax Phase IV and the digital upgrade of market supervision, Beijing's supervision of companies' operating status has been achievedFull Process Penetration. Whether it's an overdue annual report, a missing address, or irregularities in bookkeeping and tax filing, the system automatically warns and triggers disciplinary action.

Today's article, we systematically sort out the five maintenance matters that must be done after the registration of the company, to help you avoid the pit that 90% entrepreneurs will step on, so that the company runs up steadily.

01 Annual report: a yearly "physical examination", missed into the black list

Core provisions: Any corporation formed before December 31 of the previous year, whether or not it is open for business and has revenues, must beJanuary 1 to June 30 each yearDuring this period, you can log in to the "National Enterprise Credit Information Publication System" to submit your annual report for the previous year.

What needs to be reported?

• Basic business information (address, contact information, number of employees)
• Shareholder and capital contribution information (paid-in status)
• Information on the status of assets (operating income, profit, total tax payments)
• Social Security Payment Information
• Outward investment, guarantees

Consequences of overstaying::

• Listed in the "Business Abnormalities List" and publicized to the public
• Failure to move out after 3 years will result in inclusion in the "List of Enterprises with Serious Violations of Law and Bad Faith".
• Legal representatives are restricted in loans, bidding, immigration, etc.
• Partners see anomaly records directly when checking corporate credit

Points for avoiding pitfalls::
✅ It is recommended that submissions be completed by the end of May to avoid congestion in the system during the peak period in June
✅ Data can be "zero-declaration" but must be submitted on time
✅ If you find an error in filling out your annual report, you have until June 30 to correct it yourself
✅ Removal from the abnormal list needs to apply to the market supervision department, the process is cumbersome and requires publicity

Enterprise Caiying Tips: We can provide you with annual reports on behalf of the service, to ensure that the data is accurate and completed on time, to avoid abnormalities caused by omissions or misstatements.

02 Bookkeeping and Tax Returns: Monthly/Quarterly Requirements, Even for Zero Income

This is the most overlooked but consequential maintenance matter after the formation of a company.

legal requirement: Within 30 days from the date of receipt of the business license, the company must register with the tax authorities for tax payment and approval of tax types. After that, it must file tax returns on time, regardless of whether it is open for business or not and whether it has any income.

Frequency of filing::

• Small-scale taxpayers: quarterly returns (VAT, CIT, etc.)
• General taxpayers: monthly returns (VAT), quarterly/annual returns (income tax)

What taxes do I need to file?

• Value-added tax (1%/3% for small-scale and 6%/9%/13% for general taxpayers)
• Corporate Income Tax (5% for profit ≤ 3 million, 25% for more)
• Individual income tax (wages and salaries, shareholders' dividends)
• Surtax, stamp duty, etc.

Consequences of overstaying::

• First overdue: ordered to make corrections within a certain period of time and may be fined up to 2,000 yuan
• Multiple delinquencies: $2,000-$10,000 fine and inclusion in the tax blacklist
• Failure to declare for 3 consecutive months: tax authorities can be forced to recognize as "non-normal households", invoices stopped, accounts restricted
• Legal persons and shareholders personal credit affected, restriction on high consumption, restriction on leaving the country

Choice of two maintenance methods::
After the company is established, there are two main ways of bookkeeping and tax filing: hiring a full-time accountant on your own, or entrusting a professional agency to do the bookkeeping.

If you choose to hire an accountant on your own, the monthly cost is usually between $4,000 and $6,000, with additional social security costs. The strength of professionalism depends entirely on the individual accountant's ability, and once the person leaves the company, it is easy for there to be a break in the process, leading to delays in filing.

The cost of entrusting agency bookkeeping is much lower, ranging from RMB 1,600 to RMB 2,800 per year for small taxpayers and RMB 4,000 to RMB 6,000 per year for general taxpayers. What's more, the agency has a team support, can follow up the latest policy changes in a timely manner, specialized docking services, the whole process can be traced back, the risk control is more reliable.

Enterprise Caiying TipsWe provide standardized bookkeeping services, which not only help you file your returns on time, but also issue financial statements on a regular basis, so that you can keep track of your company's business status at all times.

03 Registered Address Maintenance: Don't Let "Missing Link" Destroy Your Company

The registered address is the legal residence of the company and the only channel for the business and tax departments to contact you. Many entrepreneurs try to save trouble by using a false address or cheap attachment, which results in constant trouble.

Three major upgrades to address regulation in Beijing in 2026::

1. Regularization of Double Random Inspection: Market regulators randomly sample enterprises at a ratio of no less than 3% per year, focusing on verifying the authenticity of the address. Enterprises that are sampled are required to submit proof of property certificates, lease contracts, utility bills, etc. within five working days.
2. Tax Exception LinkageIf the company cannot be found by the tax officials in the door-to-door verification, or the mailed tax documents are returned, the system will directly mark the "lost address", and synchronously push to the industry and commerce department to be listed as abnormal.
3. Bank account linkage: Some banks will ask for proof of address during annual inspections, and those who are unable to provide it may have their public accounts frozen.

Consequences of lost address::

• Inclusion in the list of business anomalies, publicized to the community
• Unable to handle any registration business such as change, cancellation, etc.
• Prolonged failure to deal with the situation will result in the revocation of the business license
• Restrictions on legal persons starting a new business

Compliance Solutions::

• If you have a real office space: make sure you hang a company sign at the door and can always cooperate with door-to-door verification
• If you work from home or don't have a physical space at the moment: choose a regularPark Affiliate Address, $1,000-3,000 per year, both to cooperate with verification and to send and receive documents normally

Enterprise Caiying TipsWe have cooperative parks in many districts in Beijing and can provide compliant centralized office addresses with lease contracts and property rights certificates to ensure worry-free business and tax verification.

04 Bank reconciliation accounts: the lifeline of a company's funds

The public account is not only a channel for receiving and paying payments, but also a binding carrier for tax, social security, provident fund and other businesses.2026 Bank accounts are tightly regulated and may be frozen if you are not careful.

Account Maintenance Essentials::

1. Annual fee and maintenance fee: Each bank charges differently, generally 300-1000 yuan/year. Some banks have reduction and exemption policies for small and micro enterprises, so it is recommended to ask clearly when opening an account.
2. Cooperate with the annual inspection: Each year, banks will require companies to submit updated business licenses, corporate documents, articles of incorporation and other materials for annual inspections, and overdue submissions may result in the suspension of over-the-counter transactions.
3. Risk Control of Unusual TransactionsIf there are frequent "public-to-private" transfers, large sums of money going in and out of the account that do not correspond to the scope of business, or receipts in sensitive areas, the bank's risk control system will automatically freeze the account, and the account will be unfrozen only after proof is provided in the form of a business contract, invoice, and so on.
4. Changes in legal persons need to be synchronized: After a company changes its legal person, it must go to the bank in time to change the reserved seal, otherwise the account cannot be used.

Guide to avoiding the pit::
✅ It is recommended that 1-2 bank accounts be maintained to avoid problems with a single account that could lead to a break in the chain of funds
✅ Monthly reconciliation of bank flows and timely handling of unusual transactions detected
✅ Accounts not used for a long period of time are recommended to be canceled to avoid annual fee accumulation and risk exposure

Enterprise Caiying Tips: We can assist you with bank account opening appointments, data preparation, and provide risk control advice during account use to avoid freezing due to improper operation.

05 Company change and cancellation: not to do "bad" treatment

Many companies operate for a period of time and then need to change their information due to business adjustments, or need to be canceled due to cessation of business. Improper operation of these two links will equally leave behind problems.

Common Changes::

• Change of legal representative, shareholders, registered capital
• Change of business scope and company name
• Change of registered address (cross-district relocation requires special attention)

Consequences of untimely changes::

• Change of legal person without filing: the new legal person cannot exercise its powers and the bank account cannot be used
• Address change not updated: industrial and commercial letters not received, resulting in address anomalies
• Failure to declare changes in shareholding: possible late tax implications

Write-offs are the last line of defense::
If a company ceases to operate and is left unattended, it will be recognized as an "irregular household" and its business license will be revoked. Revocation is not the same as cancellation, the legal person still need to bear the debt and legal responsibility, and shall not be reappointed as the legal representative within 3 years.

Compliance Write-Off Process::

1. Tax write-off (settlement of taxes, payment of invoices)
2. Business write-off (45 days of publicity, submission of write-off application)
3. Cancellation of bank accounts
4. Cancellation of seals
