How To Shut Down A China Rep Office
It is not uncommon for foreign companies that have been doing business in China through a Representative Office to want to shut it down. We get companies coming to us for this from two fronts. We get companies that have succeeded in China and now want to form a WFOE, which is usually in the long run a cheaper and more flexible way to conduct China business. We also get companies that have decidedthey no longer wish to be in China at all, but do not want to burn their China bridges by moving out of China Baltimore Colts style.
What does it take to close down a China Representative Office?
The first thing you must do is submit to the Tax Bureau a properly drafted and sealed company resolution along with a cancellation application signed by the Rep Office’s chief representative, along with various other required documents. Since the documents required — like so much else in China — can vary depending on the locale, you always should contact your local bureau to determine the exact documents they will require. More than anything, the tax bureau wants to make sure that your Representative Office has paid all of its taxes.
After you are have obtained a cancellation certificate from the tax bureau to close down your Represenatative Office, you must then de-register it with other agencies as well, with those agencies depending on where you are and the nature of your business. China wants to be sure that your Representative Office has paid all of its China debts, including employees.
Closing a Representative Office (or a WFOE for that matter) is more difficult and time consuming than it should be. In fact, it is one of the things on our short list of legal matters that our China lawyers will not do on a flat fee basis simply because the time involved is too unpredictable. Closing a Rep Office can take as little as three months or as long as 18 months, maybe more.
