For enterprises, quarterly prepayment is more cost-effective than monthly prepayment, which is mainly manifested in the turnover of funds, occupancy, do not have to consider the funds needed to pay income tax month after month.
Enterprises with losses still have to file income tax returns on a regular basis, with the amount of the loss stated in the return.
Enterprise income tax returns are filed on a monthly or quarterly basis for prepayment, with prepayment declared within 15 days of the end of the month or quarter, and remittance made within 45 days of the end of the year
