Q: Which documents are required when leaving China
Hi everyone,
I am having a complete clearout of things accumulated over the last few years and for future reference when the time does come for me to leave China are there any specific documents or tax papers I need to take back home with me. I have worked in the same company and lived in the same apartment for years, have been paying tax since 2010 and have kept all contracts of employment and housing as well as everyday receipts.
I would really appreciate any advice because I don’t want to throw anything which I might need later on and at least if I know what I need then I can talk to the company’s accounting department in advance.
Thank you
Are you planning on coming back, ever? If not, I wouldn't worry about it....
What country are you from? Do you have ties to it, bills, bank accounts, income, property?
You could (I would) contact your Embassy for detailed answer.
No expert however I personally would keep the most important documents, to show any future employer, should you seek a new position in your next country of residency. That way you can show that you have been working legally else where, and also paying your taxes here in China. I would think that if you had no proof to back up your story, then maybe just maybe, some may just assume that you have been on holiday to a local correctional institution. It may seem junk, however its best to keep it for 2 years, then decide.
