On July 28, Rong Hailou, press spokesman and chief economist of the State Administration of Taxation, said at the press conference of the State Information Office that since the “Regulations on Submission of Tax-related Information for Internet Platform Enterprises” were announced and implemented on June 20 last year, one major change is that there are more tax-paying merchants. The number of merchants on the platform that filed tax returns in the first quarter of this year increased by 37% compared to before the “Regulations” were implemented, an increase of 5 percentage points over the previous filing, leading to a further reduction in the difference in online and offline tax burdens. He said that since the implementation of the “Regulations”, the quality and efficiency of platform companies' reports has continued to improve. The number of platforms that submitted tax-related information in the first quarter of this year was 9,692, which basically achieved full reporting. Compliance with merchant tax laws within the platform continued to increase. For example, in the first quarter of this year, the amount of invoices obtained by small-scale taxpayers within the platform increased 48% year over year, up 20 percentage points from the previous year, and more than doubled from when they were first submitted last year.
