Brief answer: It may cause review delays. Attach a name identity explanation or official name-change proof, and update bank remittance names to match your residence card.

Detailed explanation

Romanized names on withholding slip, residence card, and passport should be as consistent as possible. If remitter names differ due to marriage name change or old bank registration, attach translated household register or marriage certificate explanations and bank account name change proof. A cross-reference table matching Chinese names to romanization also helps. Use account names consistent with tax documents for future remittances. If birth certificate names differ from current documents, provide a chain of identity explanation. The tax office may request supplemental identity proof. Final authority rests with the tax office.
