Regional headquarters of multinational groups is a special official recognition granted by local governments in Chinese cities (Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen) to a foreign invested legal entity that is authorized by its overseas parent company to exercise regional management functions over affiliates across a certain geographic area (China or Asia-wide). Qualified entities are granted with subsidies, reduced rental costs, preferential personal income tax rates for senior executives, and in some cases accelerated work permit processing, subject to criteria on registered capital, headcount, and the scope of regional management functions.
