Further Deepening the Reform of Tax Collection and Administration

To implement the Opinions on Further Deepening the Reform of Tax Collection and Administration issued by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council in March 2021, the STA has planned and promoted the intelligent tax blueprint from “taxation based on experience and invoice” to “IT-based taxation” and advanced the digitalization and intelligent upgrade of tax governance. Optimizing the digital e-invoicing platform and gradually expanding the application of e-invoice is another key measure after the Digital Currency Electronic Payment to promote the digital transformation of the economy and society. The STA has piloted to construct a nationally unified and standardized E-tax service to realize the scenario-based application of digitalization and intellectualization. The STA has formulated “One Legal Person based”, “One Natural Person-based”, “One Tax Service Branch-based” and “One Tax Official based” data collection rules, accelerating the governance ability in tax data. The STA has explored to build a new tax administration and service model of “Headquarter-to-headquarter”,“Taxation-to-group” and “Network-to-network”,promoting the governance and administration in key tax sources. Based on data such as VAT invoices, the STA has carried out analysis of economic operation. The STA submitted 31 1 analysis reports and local tax authorities presented over 20 thousand reports to local governments at the same level to actively assist in decision-making and coordinate Covid-19 prevention and control and economic and social development.
