Registered Capital Commitments against the Five Year Injection Schedule
Foreign investors must inject subscribed capital within five years under PRC Company Law Article 47 or execute capital reductions to avoid statutory fines
Article 54
Meaning
Investigative authorization grants tax departments the legal power to inspect premises, question employees and examine financial records of a subject enterprise. The powers listed in article 54 allow officials to enter industrial facilities to count stock or review computer data related to production volumes. This access extends to banks where the authority may inquire about the specific account movements of the taxpayer and its connected parties.
Field Inquiry
Physical presence at the operational site is a core function of this administrative mandate. Under article 54, inspectors can seize accounting documents for analysis at the local tax bureau if there is a risk of records being destroyed. Refusal to grant entry to the factory constitutes an administrative violation punishable by fines or lower social credit scores.
Banking Oversight
Inquiries into financial institutions must satisfy specific internal approval criteria from the tax bureau chief. Provisions in article 54 mandate that banks provide transfer details when a business comes under a formal anti avoidance investigation. These records show whether funds flowed to overseas parents or were used for local inputs.
Record Examination
Retrieval of digital and paper entries follows a set protocol involving formal seal usage. Documentation identified under article 54 must be produced by the enterprise immediately upon the issuance of an inspection notice. The chain of evidence supports the eventual determination of underpaid or correctly filed tax values.
