Chinese visa without ITR?

I’ll be applying for a chinese tourist L type by next year. I’ve only traveled to 3 countries which requires no visa. I booked a flight by October 2018. My problem is that I’m an online English tutor. I do this full time and I can’t present an ITR nor COE. I work for a Chinese company based in Beijing and they send monthly salary by PayPal. I can present all necessary requirements and bank cert except ITR and COE. I wanted to meet some of my close students that I met during online teaching. My trip will only be for 5 days. What are your thoughts about it? Any response is appreciated. Thank you so much! :)
