| 2020年1月1日起，外企登记将迎五大变化 Five major developments in FDI registration effective as of January 1, 2020
| | 《外商投资法》将于2020年1月1日起正式施行。新法的实施，是我国商事登记制度改革的一个里程碑。外商投资企业的登记将迎来重大变化。优立就法律条文并未明确的几大问题，集中向主管机关进行了咨询，并在此与大家分享。 The Foreign Investment Law will take effect on January 1, 2020, which will bring major developments in FDI registration. As for certain issues that are not expressly addressed in the new law, Youly consulted with the competent authority and made the following summary. | | 01 | 商务部门对负面清单以外的投资项目不再实施备案手续，外商或外企仅需通过企业登记系统及企业信用信息公示系统向商务部门报送投资信息，商务部门不再签发回执。 The commercial authority will no longer impose record-filling formality on foreign invested projects. The foreign investors or foreign invested enterprises will only need to submit the investment information to commercial authority via enterprise registration system & enterprise credit information publicity system, while the commercial authority will not issue receipts any more. | | | | | 02 | 外商投资负面清单限制类领域，不再需要申请商务部门审批，商务部门不再签发批复或批准证书。 In case a foreign investor invests in the restricted area according to the so-called Negative List, it is no more necessary to apply for the examination & approval by the commercial authority, while the latter will no more issue any approval letter or approval certificate. | | | | | 03 | 中国自然人将可直接和外国投资者共同设立合资企业。 The Chinese natural person will be allowed to directly set up joint ventures together with foreign investors. | | | | | 04 | 外国自然人在中国境内设立一人有限公司，将适用公司法关于一人有限公司的限制（即：一个自然人仅能设立一个一人有限公司，该一人有限公司不能对外投资设立新的一人有限公司）。目前，该项限制在实务中仅适用于中国自然人及其设立的一人公司。 In case a foreign natural person invests a single shareholder limited Liability company, the restrictive provisions stated in Company Law shall apply (namely: any natural person may only establish one single shareholder limited liability company. Such single shareholder limited liability company shall not establish a new single shareholder limited liability company). In the current practice, this provision only applies to Chinese natural person and the single shareholder company established by him/her. | | | | | 05 | “投资总额”“投注差”概念在法律层面将不复存在，理论上，新设外商投资企业除注册资本外不再需要另行确定和登记投资总额。值得注意的是，相关部门对是否完全取消有关概念尚在沟通协调，具体影响还有待观察。 The terms of total investment amount and the difference between total investment and registered capital will no longer exist from the perspective of law. In theory, a new foreign invested enterprise will not have to determine and register its total investment amount in addition to the registered capital. However, the relevant authorities are still aligning whether to totally abolish the terms. Therefore, we shall still keep an eye on the impact it will bring. | | |
