In plain words
Companies and sole proprietors must file the previous year's annual report online once a year, in the first half of the year. If you don't, you go on the list of abnormal business operations, and after filing late you can apply to be removed from it. The annual report is free. Anyone who phones to say you missed the filing and tells you to pay an agent through a mini-program or official account is a scammer, and people have been sentenced to 10 years or more for it. First check the publicity system yourself.
Mentioned in
- Anyone claiming to be the tax bureau and pressing you to pay or file is a scammer; handle taxes only through the e-tax bureau and 12366
- If the business loses money, exit by the proper procedure: deregister by the simplified route if you can, go through bankruptcy if you are insolvent, and don't leave it unattended
