Provided the principal of a branch is a foreigner or Hong Kong/ Macau/Taiwan resident, then s/he is required to visit the local office of State Administration of Taxation (SAT) in person so as to enable the SAT to verify her or his Passport or Hong Kong/Macau/Taiwan resident’s mainland travel permit. This is what we called real-name certification with the tax bureau. Failure to complete the real-name certification will affect the branch’s tax related matters, such as purchase of Fapiao and application for tax rebate, or in the worst scenario, may not be able to file tax returns, with the SAT.

Since the principal is required to visit the SAT in person to perform the real-name certification, we would recommend that s/he should be accompanied by a local staff, so as to avoid any language or communication problems. If you want us to send our staff to go to the SAT with your foreign principal, we can also arrange for it accordingly. Our fees for the foregoing service are RMB1,500 (tax exclusive).
