Shenzhen Business Real Name Authentication Implementation Timeline
The real name authentication requirements were first announced in 2016, and have been rolled out across the country at various stages.
The rollout has proceeded as follows:
SAT announcement in 2016 introduces real name authentication;
All provinces and regions (excluding Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) fully or partially rolled out the new rule in 2016 (though regions each had different timelines for full implementation);
Guangdong province launched pilot programs for implementation in 2016 (which excluded Shenzhen);
Shenzhen started to implement the rule for newly set up companies as of July 1, 2017 and expanded implementation to essentially all companies in November.
The stipulated transition period will end on Feburary 28, 2018. After that, tax personnel without registering their real name authentication will not be able deal with tax matters at the tax office.
The main purpose of real name authentication is to verify the key personnel in charge of tax matters to enhance their commitment to comply with tax laws. However, it is also designed to improve the quality of government tax services, as a tax certificate copy or ID certificate copy will no longer be required every time one deals with tax issues at the bureau.
Businesses in Shenzhen that have not yet registered should do so before the Feburary 28, 2018 deadline. Investors located elsewhere in China that have not yet registered are advised to liaise with the local tax bureau to inquire whether it is required to do so in that region.
If you and your business require further advice regarding this compliance requirement, please contact our office in Shenzhen or any of our other offices in China.
