I would kindly ask you to split the Payment Notice No.003-18 (CNY XXX) into two Payment Notices, one related to our service fee and one related to the auditor fee.

I have already told the client to put the PN(00318) on hold since we are negotiating the fee with the Auditor, but please draft a new PN related to our services and then send it to the client with the relevant invoice attached (afterwards).

Please remind the client that we will send him a new payment notice concerning the new audit fee as soon as possible.

I cannot enter the folder of the server you mentioned, as access is denied.

Dear Cristina,

Please kindly note that Ms Y, the Legal Affairs Manager of XXX, has authorized us to sign the Service Agreement with VVV.
Nevertheless, Ms Yi would like to specify the possibility of terminating the agreement more clearly “at any time”, by modifying the last paragraph of the article 1 of the agreement, as follows: “Each Party may early terminate this Contract at any time for any or no reason by giving 90 days’ prior written notice”.

Moreover, XXX has authorized us to proceed with the payment of the salary to Ms GGG for the month of April.
Regarding the payment date of the salary for the next few months, please note that the date chosen by XXX is / will be the last day of the month.

Could you confirm April 16th, 2018 as the on-board date of Ms GGG, please? Will the salary for the month of April be calculated on a pro-rata basis?

Thank you.

Please find below the email related to / concerning / covering the compensation of AP and AR for XXX.

The client has just asked me why they have to pay VAT+Local surcharges+CIT, since they carried out compensations in the last few years / in recent years and they never paid taxes on them / these compensations.
Please, could you check the compensations made in the last few years, if any? If so, why did they not pay taxes?
Can you confirm that they will have to pay taxes if they will proceed with the compensation?

I would appreciate your quick support by today or by COB  tomorrow at the latest, since we have been dealing with this matter for a while / since this matter has been ongoing for a significant amount of time.

Thank you and Best Regards,

Dear Cristina,

We sent an email to the client yesterday asking confirmation for the salary payment, the opening of the social contribution fund etc. Moreover, we forwarded to XXX the YYY’s service agreement to be signed. We have not received yet any feedback about that.
Since the employee has been working with XXX since April 16th and the company has already signed the employment’s agreement, I would get your advice about the opportunity to start the procedure of the opening of the social contribution fund, housing fund and e-tax even if we have not yet received the YYY’s service agreement duly signed.
We are also waiting to know when the employee will come back to China in order to collect her signature.
Please find attached the relevant employment agreement.
Please let know the fees of the opening of the social contribution fund, housing fund and e-tax.

Thank you.
