China’s Registered Capital Registration System

【Font:L M S

China’s Registered Capital Registration System

According to the current Company Law of the PRC, the registered capital of a Chinese limited company is the capital or shares subscribed by all the shareholders. The liability of the shareholder of a limited liability company is limited to the amount of its subscribed capital contribution, while the liability of the shareholder of a joint‑stock limited company is limited to the nominal value of its subscribed shares.

After the implementation of the registered capital subscription registration system, the shareholders are not required to contribute their subscribed capital in full when establishing the company. The shareholders may, after the establishment of the company, make their capital contribution to the company in accordance with the mode and period of capital contribution agreed upon and recorded in the articles of association of the company.

The registered capital subscription registration system does not apply to all Chinese companies. It is stipulated clearly in existing laws, administrative rules and State Council decisions of the PRC that certain industries are still subject to the paid‑up capital registration system and not the subscribed capital registration system. The industries concerned are listed below.
