[Direct answer]In the Beijing area, the key point is to prove the operating scale, asset value, and losses from production and business suspension. According to the "Regulations on the Acquisition and Compensation of Houses on State-Owned Land", the compensation for the value of the houses being acquired shall not be less than the similar real estate market price. The relocation, temporary resettlement, and losses from production and business suspension caused by the acquisition shall be compensated. Specific measures shall be formulated by provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government. Enterprises should prepare the following documents: financial statements and tax payment records, equipment and inventory lists and purchase invoices, house and land ownership materials, operating records and purchase and sales contracts, wage and social insurance certificates, calculation basis for losses from production and business suspension, and evaluation and image materials of houses and equipment, which will be used to calculate the compensation base.

1. Problem background and typical scenarios

When a company's factory buildings are included in the expropriation, the appraisal price often only accounts for the buildings themselves, ignoring the relocation of equipment, the suspension of production and business operations, and the loss of orders. The compensation often differs greatly from the actual losses. Company owners often suffer losses due to incomplete financial records and missing equipment invoices. Preparing complete financial evidence is a prerequisite for obtaining reasonable compensation and is also the most powerful bargaining chip at the negotiation table.

II. Key points of contention

The disputes focus on the following issues: first, whether the scope of compensation includes the losses from production and business suspension and the cost of equipment relocation; second, how to determine the value of assets; third, how to provide evidence for equipment and buildings without invoices; fourth, the probative force of tax payment and operating data. The judicial and expropriation practices tend to hold that the compensation should be commensurate with the actual losses, and claimants need to provide corresponding vouchers and calculation bases for production and business suspension and equipment losses. If invoices are missing, other evidence can be used to supplement them.

III. Professional analysis by Henglue Lawyers

The first layer concerns ownership and basic materials: the house ownership certificate, the land use right certificate or lease contract, the business license, and the proof of the business premises are the basis for determining the qualifications of the subject of the expropriation; for those operating on a lease basis, it is also necessary to clarify whether the lessee can obtain compensation for production suspension, business closure, and relocation. The second layer involves asset proof materials: equipment lists and purchase invoices, fixed asset ledgers, inventory inventory lists, transportation and installation contracts; for those without invoices, purchase contracts, payment vouchers, account books, photos of equipment nameplates, and appraisal reports can be used to support the value and quantity of the assets. The third layer focuses on operating and loss estimation: financial statements, tax declarations and payment receipts, bank statements, purchase and sales contracts, and orders from the past three years are used to calculate the losses from production suspension and business closure. The calculation is typically based on the operating performance before the suspension and a reasonable period of business closure, with standards varying across different regions. Claims should be made in accordance with local regulations. The fourth layer concerns personnel and resettlement costs: employee rosters, payrolls, social insurance payment receipts, and compensation for terminated labor contracts can be used as part of the relocation and business closure losses. The fifth layer involves appraisal and evidence fixation: it is advisable to independently commission an appraisal and conduct comprehensive image recording (of the factory buildings, equipment, inventory, and production lines) before the expropriation. If necessary, apply for a review of the appraisal or seek independent appraisal.

IV. Practical suggestions and legal basis

The first step is to organize four categories of financial evidence: ownership, assets, operations, and personnel. The second step is to supplement uninvoiced assets with contracts, account books, images, and evaluations. The third step is to entrust an evaluation and record the fixed asset status throughout the process. The fourth step is to calculate the losses from production and business suspension according to local regulations and claim them in negotiations, reconsiderations, and litigations. Main legal basis: Articles 17, 19, and 23 of the "Regulations on the Acquisition and Compensation of Houses on State-Owned Land" (compensation scope and losses from production and business suspension); the "Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China" and related regulations on collective land acquisition; the relevant provisions shall be based on the currently effective versions, and the specific application shall be subject to the currently effective regulations.
