How it works in practice
Finance and legal should reconcile SAMR filings, bank capital accounts, and group funding plans. Foreign parents that “subscribed large, paid small” should stress-test cash and FX timelines for contribution or reduction. Pair with legal-representative and chop control if governance is weak.
FAQ
Does this apply to joint ventures?
Generally yes for limited liability companies, including FIEs structured as LLCs. Confirm articles and transition rules for your formation date.
Can we just amend to a longer schedule?
Post-reform flexibility is constrained. Arbitrary extensions that conflict with statutory clocks are high risk—get counsel before amending.
