In the past, the tax service hall of Chaoyang District Taxation Bureau in Beijing was crowded all year round, serving nearly 400000 enterprises and 4 million natural person taxpayers within its jurisdiction. Nowadays, "cloud based" tax halls are becoming increasingly busy, while physical halls are quietly "cooling down"... This change is a vivid portrayal of the acceleration of tax governance towards digitization, intelligence, and scenario based in the process of deepening tax collection and management reform. In March 2021, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Further Deepening Tax Administration Reform", outlining the development blueprint for China's tax reform during the 14th Five Year Plan period. In the wave of building a digital China, smart taxation has become the "first move" and "breakthrough point" for deepening tax collection and management reform. In the past five years, the tax department has fundamentally transformed the tax collection and management methods from "collecting taxes" to "filing taxes" and then to "calculating taxes", the tax collection and management processes from "online" to "cloud based", and the tax management efficiency from "experience based tax management" to "invoice based tax management" and then to "data based tax management". A set of data is sufficient to confirm this profound change: by 2025, the country will issue 19 billion digital electronic invoices, accounting for 91%, with a total amount exceeding 44 trillion yuan, accounting for 98%; The tax department has established a nationwide unified new electronic tax bureau covering 234 tax payment matters and over 96 million taxpayers, achieving 100% online processing of tax payment matters and handling over 4.5 billion tax and fee transactions annually; The number of offline tax payment personnel has decreased by 26% year-on-year, with 90% of high-frequency tax payment transactions completed within 3 minutes and an average tax processing time reduced by 20%; The implementation of digital electronic invoices has effectively reduced the operating costs of enterprises, with 22 innovative business scenarios and 70 business items undergoing digital transformation. After taxpayers in Guangxi use digital electronic invoices, the average annual cost savings are about 1.2 billion yuan; The average invoicing time for enterprises has been reduced to 5 minutes, resulting in a 90% increase in efficiency. Behind the increasingly convenient, efficient, and intelligent tax payment services, high-quality and efficient tax and fee services are transforming into tangible dividends for business entities. The reporter learned that the tax department relies on the concept of "data+rules" to generate policy feature labels for key policies and industries, accurately deliver policies to suitable enterprises, and implement the mechanism of "policy finding people". Data shows that since 2021, the tax department has pushed more than 700 million tax and fee preferential policies, and the proportion of taxpayers who can enjoy tax benefits upon declaration has reached 96.5%. The cumulative increase in tax reduction and fee reduction has exceeded 10 trillion yuan. At the same time, the tax department relies on the new electronic tax bureau to achieve digital, intelligent, and scenario based upgrading and efficiency improvement of tax and fee services. 86 pre filled business items have significantly reduced the burden of tax payment; The comprehensive declaration rate of taxpayers for multiple tax categories has reached 80%, and the notification commitment system and vacancy handling have facilitated over 21.7 million taxpayers; By 2025, the national tax departments will provide interactive services for tax collection and payment, with a cumulative service to over 100 million taxpayers, a year-on-year increase of 82.53% and a 9.64 fold increase compared to 2023.
