The Zhitong Finance App learned that on July 28, the State Information Office held a press conference on tax reform and development during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period. Rong Hailou, press spokesman and chief economist of the State Administration of Taxation, said that with the full popularization of the e-Taxation Bureau, the vast majority of high-frequency tax services have become “online” and “handheld.” At present, the coverage of smart tax processing matters has been increased to 85%, and the average tax processing time has been reduced by 20%. We are also piloting “payment and invoicing” in people's livelihood fields such as parking lots, supermarket retail, catering and lodging, etc., improving consumer ticketing efficiency and experience. We continue to optimize the “buy and refund” service for departure tax refunds. In the first half of the year, the number of overseas travelers applying for departure tax refunds increased 366% year over year, and sales of tax refund products and tax refund amounts increased 69% year over year.
