Enterprise deregistration can be divided into general deregistration and simplified deregistration. 

Procedures for general deregistration: (1) Where a company is required to be terminated due to dissolution, declared bankruptcy, or other statutory reasons, it shall go through liquidation procedures in accordance with the law and apply to the registration authority for deregistration. (2) Within 10 days of the establishment of the liquidation group, the group shall log in to the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System to disclose the liquidation group’s information to the public for free. A creditor's announcement shall be issued via the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System within 60 days (alternatively, it can be published in a newspaper). The announcement period shall be 45 calendar days. (3) Where the enterprise has branches, it shall first handle the deregistration procedures for its branches.

Required documents for general deregistration: For a company-type foreign-invested enterprise, the documents include the Enterprise Deregistration Application Form; a resolution or decision for dissolution made by the company in accordance with the Company Law of the People's Republic of China; liquidation report; tax clearance certificate (where the tax clearance has been verified online by the registration authority, there is no need to submit paper tax clearance documents); a copy of the newspaper announcement (where the creditor's announcement is only published in a newspaper); a copy of the approval document (where the deregistration requires to report for approval by laws, administrative regulations, or decisions of the State Council); and the original and copy of the business license. For a partnership-type foreign-invested enterprise, the documents include the Enterprise Deregistration Application Form; a resolution or decision for dissolution made by the partnership in accordance with the Law of the People's Republic of China on Partnerships; liquidation report; tax clearance certificate (where the tax clearance has been verified online by the registration authority, there is no need to submit paper tax clearance documents); a copy of the newspaper announcement (where the creditor's announcement is only published in a newspaper); a copy of the approval document (where the deregistration requires to report for approval by laws, administrative regulations, or decisions of the State Council); and the original and copy of the business license.
