public holidays in January 2030

No Chinese national holidays fall on a weekday in January 2030, so banks and China financial markets keep their regular schedule for the entire month.

China January deadlines

New Year's Day (January 1) closes banks, the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges, and government offices. The State Taxation Administration (STA) annual corporate income tax filing window is the first five months of the year (May 31 deadline for calendar-year filers). Monthly VAT and corporate income tax instalments are due by the 15th of the following month for most filers. Spring Festival preparations dominate logistics planning in the second half of January.

China reporting cycles and business-day rules

Chinese business-day cycles align with STA (State Taxation Administration) monthly VAT and corporate income tax deposits due by the 15th of the following month for most regimes, plus annual corporate income tax returns due May 31 for calendar-year filers and the annual Individual Income Tax (IIT) reconciliation from March 1 to June 30. The PBoC operates CNAPS as the high-value RTGS system on bank business days; CIPS handles cross-border RMB settlement. Spring Festival and National Day Golden Weeks each close banks and exchanges for 7-8 days, with State Council-gazetted make-up working Saturdays surrounding each holiday. SAFE (State Administration of Foreign Exchange) governs capital-account flows and approval windows.

A Shanghai treasury operator uses the 23-day January 2030 count to align PBoC CNAPS (China National Advanced Payment System) RTGS settlement with STA (State Taxation Administration) monthly VAT cutoffs on the 15th. A Shenzhen tech-park controller uses business-day math to track Shanghai/Shenzhen Stock Exchange listed-entity quarterly disclosures and the Spring Festival and National Day Golden Week closures. A Beijing trade-services firm uses working-day counts to align SAFE (State Administration of Foreign Exchange) capital-flow reporting with cross-border RMB settlement via CIPS.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many business days are in January 2030 for Chinese national?
January 2030 has 23 working days under the Chinese national holiday calendar. The month spans 31 calendar days, of which 8 fall on a weekend and 0 are Chinese national holidays that lands on a weekday. The remaining 23 weekdays are countable as working days for invoicing, deadline tracking, and contract math.
Which China holidays affect January 2030?
January 2030 contains no Chinese national holidays that fall on a weekday. Banks, the central clearing system, and China financial markets keep their normal schedule throughout the month under this calculator's national-only holiday set.
Why do Chinese Golden Week closures shift adjacent weekends?
China's State Council gazettes annual public holiday closures including make-up working Saturdays and Sundays surrounding the multi-day Golden Week holidays (Spring Festival in late January or February, and National Day October 1-7). For example, to extend National Day from 3 statutory days to a 7-day closure, the surrounding Saturday and Sunday are shifted to be working days, with the holiday extended into the adjacent week. This calculator's Chinese data lists the gazetted holiday dates as non-business days but does not separately add make-up Saturdays back as working days, which is the conservative B2B count. For payroll and overtime computations that depend on make-up workdays, consult the State Council's annual notice.
Are Hong Kong and Macau covered by this Chinese calendar?
No. Hong Kong (SAR) and Macau (SAR) operate under their own Basic Laws and have separate public holiday calendars distinct from mainland China. Hong Kong observes 17 statutory holidays including Christmas Day and Chinese New Year, while Macau observes 22 including Catholic and Portuguese-tradition days. This calculator's China data is for the mainland (excluding the SARs and Taiwan). For Hong Kong or Macau cross-border invoicing, layer the relevant SAR dates into the Advanced options.
Why does the business-day count vary year to year?
Two things shift the monthly count for China. First, the day of the week the first of the month lands on changes the count of each weekday. Second, Chinese national holidays anchored to a fixed date shift their weekday across years. Some years a fixed-date holiday lands on a weekend; some countries shift the observance to an adjacent weekday and some absorb it into the weekend. January 2029 had 22 working days, so January 2030 has 1 more working day year over year.
