Q2: When to make the tax ratification?
A2: Since 1st Oct 2015, when the tax payer starts to make the tax filing or issue the invoice (Fapiao), the company should make the tax ratification. After the tax ratification, the company should make monthly tax filing.

Q7: what kinds of matter should be independently handled with the tax bureau?
A7: The company should report to the tax bureau independently for any information change on the “actual manufacturing and operational address”, “financial person-in-charge” and “accounting method”.
