Does the company as a legal person pay social security by itself or in the company?

It depends on the actual situation and business strategy of the company.

I. Social security paid by the company as a legal person.

In some cases, the company as a legal person can choose to pay social security by itself. This usually happens when the company is relatively small, or when the company legal person wants to separate the personal and corporate finance. Self-payment of social security means that a company as a legal person participates in social insurance in its personal capacity and bears the social insurance fees that individuals should pay.

In this case, the company, as a legal person, needs to pay social insurance premiums in full and on time in accordance with local social security policies to ensure that its social security rights and interests are guaranteed. At the same time, corporate legal persons also need to understand and abide by relevant social security policies and regulations to avoid damage to social security rights and interests due to improper operation.

Second, the payment of social security in the company

For most companies, it is common to pay social security in the company. This means that the company, as an employer, handles social insurance registration for employees (including corporate legal persons) and pays social insurance premiums according to regulations.

When the company pays social security, the legal person of the company, as the person in charge of the company, needs to ensure that the company pays social insurance premiums in full and on time and safeguard the social security rights and interests of employees. At the same time, the company also needs to establish a sound social security management system to ensure the compliance and accuracy of social security expenses.

It should be noted that when the company pays social insurance, the company, as a legal person and as one of its employees, also needs to pay the social insurance premiums that individuals should pay according to the regulations. These expenses are usually deducted from wages.

To sum up:

Whether a company as a legal person pays social security by itself or in the company mainly depends on the actual situation and business strategy of the company. For smaller companies or corporate legal persons who want to separate personal and corporate finance, they may choose to pay social security by themselves. For most companies, it is common to pay social security in the company to ensure that employees' social security rights and interests are guaranteed. No matter which way you choose, you need to abide by the relevant social security policies and regulations to ensure the compliance and accuracy of social security premiums.
