China's first online tax
payment system has been launched in Beijing for a test run, enabling businesses
and individuals to pay taxes via the Internet, the Beijing Local Taxation Bureau
has announced.
The new system links taxation bureaus, fiscal departments and banks together,
consisting of subsystems of electronic declaration,electronic payment and
electronic management.
"Once the system is in full operation and covers the entire city, tax payment
can not only be fulfilled at the service centersof taxation offices and bank
counters, but also at the taxpayer's home or office," said Wang Jiping, director
of the Beijing Local Taxation Bureau.
"Taxpayers can submit tax forms and documents via the Internet and thus spare
themselves the trouble of going to taxation officespersonally," Wang added.
"This also saves staff workers at taxation counters from repetitive work and
raises efficiency."
Taxation institutions that have first introduced the online taxpayment system
include the Haidian Branch, Chong Wen Branch, West Railway Station Branch and
Foreigners' Service Branch of the Beijing Local Taxation Bureau, as well as the
Beijing branches of China Merchants Bank.
