3. Common Questions About Social Insurance Payment

1. Payment Time (Prompt: Not Within Declaration Time)

Pay the previous month’s social insurance fees from the 10th to the 25th of each month (including both the 10th and 25th). For example, pay November’s social insurance in December. If you declare before the 10th or after the 25th, you will be prompted that it’s not within the declaration time.

2. Can I Pay Social Insurance Without Installing the Social Insurance Management Client?

Paying social insurance on the Electronic Tax Bureau website and paying through the Social Insurance Management Client are actually the same thing. You can choose either one (if you have special requirements, please choose according to your needs). Similar question: Can Beijing individual business owners pay social insurance themselves without using the social insurance payment client, only using the Electronic Tax Bureau website? (Yes, refer to the answer above)

3. Prompt: “您尚未进行社保费缴费信息关联,请与主管税务机关联系。”

If you just registered as an individual business owner this month, don’t worry. It usually automatically associates on the 10th of next month. Wait until the 10th of next month and log in to the Tax Bureau website again to check. If you’re not a newly registered individual business owner, contact your local tax authority to ask what’s going on.

4. What to Do If “缴费记录” Shows Empty?

There are two solutions: Method 1: Come back another day to query again. If you’re lucky, it will show up (or it might still not display). Method 2: Visit the “单位缴费记录打印” page ( https://sbf.beijing.chinatax.gov.cn/dwsbf-web/#/dwjfzm ), click “查询”, wait one or two minutes, and the payment record will appear.

5. Beijing Social Insurance Payment Prompt: Unit Payment Data Query Failed, Failure Reason [No Valid Summary Preprocessing Information]

Reason 1: It’s now December 2025. If you’re an existing user who has already paid social insurance last month, and you encounter this problem today, it’s likely due to too many people accessing the website (this problem usually occurs most easily on the 10th-12th of each month). Solution: Try again at a different time.

Reason 2: If this is your first payment, you might need to perform “年度缴费工资调整”.

6. What to Do If I Forgot (Can’t Find) the Bank-side Tax Payment Certificate Serial Number?

You can go to the Payment Certificate Print Record page and click “重新打印”. Payment Certificate Print Record
