Exit is a project: shareholder resolution, liquidation committee, tax clearance audit, customs/FX/bank closures, chop cancellation, SAMR deregistration. Cutting corners leaves black-listed legal representatives and frozen accounts. We run the full sequence, from $1,900 fixed-fee scoping.
The exit sequence
- Board/shareholder resolution + liquidation committee formation and public announcement (45 days)
- Tax clearance — the long pole: final CIT/VAT filings, audit, invoice system cancellation, fapiao surrender; unpaid items surface here
- Customs & FX — de-registration if you traded; capital account closure with remaining funds repatriated per SAFE rules
- Bank & chops — account closures, physical chop destruction/cancellation at PSB
- SAMR deregistration — licence cancelled; employees settled per labor law (severance N+1 typical) before tax clearance
Why clean matters
An abandoned entity black-lists its legal representative and supervisor — future visas, new ventures and even banking in China can be affected. A structured exit keeps the group record clean for the next entry. Typical timeline 4-8 months.
