1. Government expenses: about 1500 RMB.

2. Agency fee: 2,000 yuan for ordinary tickets and 3,000 yuan for ordinary taxpayers (independent accounting branches can be registered in the development zone and enjoy preferential tax policies in the development zone).

Many people will ask about the minimum registered capital of a branch. According to the company law of China, the branch company has no independent legal person qualification and registered capital.

A branch in the legal sense is only a branch established by the head office, not an independent legal person, and all the creditor's rights and debts of the branch are borne by the head office.

The funds for maintaining the daily operation of the branch are directly transferred to the bank account of the branch by the head office. A branch with independent accounting can pay taxes, recruit employees and provide social security for employees at the place where the branch is registered.

What's the difference between a branch and a subsidiary?

First, the main differences between branches and subsidiaries.

According to the Company Law, a company can set up branches, which do not have the qualification of enterprise legal person, and their civil liabilities shall be borne by the company. A company may establish subsidiaries, which have the status of enterprise legal persons and independently bear civil liabilities according to law. The differences between subsidiaries and branches are as follows:

(1) The subsidiary is an independent legal person with its own name, articles of association and organization, and conducts activities in its own name. Creditor's rights and debts incurred in the course of operation shall be borne independently by itself. The branch does not have the qualification of enterprise legal person and has no independent name. Its name should be preceded by the name of the affiliated company, which is established according to law and is only a branch of the company.

(2) The parent company's control over its subsidiaries must meet certain legal conditions. Generally, the parent company does not directly control its subsidiaries, but more indirectly controls them, that is, it affects the production and operation decisions of subsidiaries by appointing and dismissing board members and making investment decisions. However, branch offices are different. Its personnel, business and property are directly controlled by affiliated companies and engaged in business activities within the business scope of affiliated companies.

(3) Different ways to assume debts. As the largest shareholder of the subsidiary, the parent company is only responsible for the debts in the operating activities of the subsidiary to the extent of its capital contribution to the subsidiary; As an independent legal person, subsidiaries are liable for operating liabilities with all their property. Because the branch company does not have its own independent property, it is accounted for together with the affiliated company economically, so the liabilities in its business activities are paid off by the affiliated company, that is, the affiliated company is liable for the debts in the operation of the branch company to the extent of all its assets.

Second, the difference between a branch and a subsidiary:

1, branch

Branch is a concept corresponding to the head office or company. The businesses of many large enterprises are distributed all over the country and even in many countries, and the branches or subsidiaries established by the company directly engage in these businesses. These branches or subsidiaries are called branches. The company itself is called the head office or company.

Although the relationship between the branch and the head office is somewhat similar to that between the subsidiary and the parent company. However, the legal status of a branch company is completely different from that of a subsidiary company, and it has no independent legal status.

A branch is a branch or subsidiary directly engaged in business activities of the head office. Although a branch has the word company, it is not a real company. Because the branch does not have the qualification of an enterprise legal person, does not have an independent legal status, and does not bear civil liability independently.

2. subsidiaries

Subsidiary is a legal concept corresponding to parent company. A parent company refers to a company that owns more than a certain proportion of shares in another company or can actually control another company through an agreement. A subsidiary refers to a company whose shares are owned by another company or actually controlled by another company through an agreement. A subsidiary has the status of a legal person and can bear civil liability independently, which is an important difference between a subsidiary and a branch.

(1) The subsidiary is actually controlled by the parent company.

The so-called actual control means that the parent company has the actual decision-making power over all major matters of the subsidiary, especially the composition of the board of directors of the subsidiary. The parent company may appoint multiple directors of the board of directors by exercising its power without the consent of others. Although some trust institutions own a large number of shares in the company, they do not participate in the actual control of the company's affairs, so they do not belong to the parent company.

(2) The control relationship between the parent company and the subsidiary company is based on the ownership of equity or control agreement.

According to the majority voting principle of the shareholders' meeting, the more shares you own, the more you can get the decision-making power on the company's affairs. Therefore, if a company owns more than 50% of the shares of another company, it is bound to be able to control the company. But in fact, due to the dispersion of shares, as long as you own more than a certain proportion of shares, you can obtain the majority voting rights at the shareholders' meeting and obtain the controlling position. In addition to share control, the relationship between parent company and subsidiary company can also be formed by concluding some special contracts or agreements to make one company under the control of another company.

(3) The parent company and subsidiaries are independent legal persons.

Although the subsidiary is under the actual control of the parent company, many aspects should be managed by the parent company, and some of them are even similar to the branches of the parent company, legally speaking, the subsidiary is still an independent company with legal person status. Have its own company name and articles of association, and conduct business activities in its own name. Its property and the property of the parent company are independent of each other and each has its own balance sheet. In terms of property liability, subsidiaries and parent companies also bear their own property liabilities to the extent of all their property, and there is no correlation between them.

A company that controls other companies by holding more than a certain percentage of their shares is also called a holding company. Parent company and holding company are two common concepts. A subsidiary can also become a holding company by controlling a certain proportion of shares of other companies, and the controlled company becomes Sun Company. The parent company has become a huge company group by controlling many subsidiaries and Sun companies. As long as the parent company uses less capital, it can use the capital of its subsidiaries to acquire other companies, forming a pyramid-shaped company group model.
