Normally, after the registered company obtains the business license and starts operation, generally, from the second month, it should start bookkeeping and tax declaration. But in reality, due to no business for new company, the new registered company can apply zero declaration at the early stage.
正常而言，注册公司领取营业执照开始经营后，一般从第二个月开始，就要开始记账报税，纳税申报，不过由于现实中一般新公司没有业务，所以新注册公司前期是可以申请零申报的。
The state has made mandatory requirements for the duration of zero tax declaration. If your registered company is not ready for operation, and there is no relevant business, you can declare zero VAT until there is income.
国家对零报税持续的时间有着强制要求，如果注册公司还没准备好投入运营，且没有相关业务发生，可以零申报增值税，直到有收入再正常申报。
Zero declaration is not no declaration. Zero declaration means that when the company is in operation but has no taxable income, so it can make zero tax declaration, which eliminates the procedures for the company to do accounting and pay taxes. Some people might ask: If there is no income, there is no need to pay taxes. Why do it still need to declare? Zero declaration is not entirely for paying tax, but to facilitate the unified management of enterprises by the state. No income does not mean that no declaration is required.
但是，大家要明确一点：零申报不是不申报。零申报的意思是指，企业在营运的时候，本月并没有收入，没有发生应税的收入，就可以做税务零申报，免去了企业做账和缴纳税款等动作，有人就会疑问：没有收入，肯定不需要缴纳税款，为什么还要申报？做税务零申报并不是完全为了报税，而是方便国家统一管理企业，没有收入不代表不要申报。
What are the consequences of long term zero declaration?Generally, if zero declarations are made for more than 6 months, tax warnings will appear, which will arouse the attention of the tax bureau.
一般来说，企业是不能长期零申报的，一般超过6个月零申报就会出现税务预警，引起税务局的关注，并会带来一系列风险。
