I cannot upload a 'proof of employment' when registering my accountant information because I am currently unemployed. What should I do?

Shanghai Municipal Finance Bureau| July 08, 2024

The targets of accountant information collection are "personnel engaged in accounting or accounting supervision in government organs, social organizations, enterprises, public institutions and other organizations, as well as unemployed personnel holding professional and technical qualifications in accounting." Therefore, if you are currently unemployed but hold an accounting qualification certificate, you still need to register your accountant information in Shanghai, but instead of a proof of employment, you can upload a proof of household registration or a residence permit. If you are not an accountant working in Shanghai and do not have any accounting qualification certificate, then you are not subject to accountant information collection.
