Offices of the State Administration of Taxation ("SAT") in all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government and cities specifically designated in the State plan, local special commissioner's offices established by the SAT, and all entities under SAT offices,

In order to thoroughly implement the series of arrangements of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on improving the business environment as well as streamlining administration and easing tax burden, and give full play to the function of taxation, so as to better serve economic and social development, a notice concerning the relevant work is hereby issued as follows:

I. Gaining a Profound Understanding of the Significance of Streamlining Administration and Reducing Tax Burden
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council have attached great importance to the work of streamlining administration and reducing tax burden, and have promulgated a series of policies and measures, which have played a very important role in improving the business environment and promoting a high-quality economic development. Since the beginning of this year, China has maintained the overall stability while making steady progress in economy. At the same time, there are still certain changes in China's steady economic operation, resulting in some new problems and challenges. In the current complicated economic situation at home and abroad, stepping up efforts to streamline administration and reduce tax burden will be beneficial to the stability in employment, finance, foreign trade, foreign capital, investment and expectations, and thus providing continuous and strong support for a better development of China's long-term economy.
Tax authorities at all levels shall effectively combine their thoughts and actions with the judgments on the current economic situation as well as the various decisions and arrangements of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on a unified basis, strengthen the efforts to work, and faithfully implement various measures for streamlining administration and reducing tax burden without any delay, so as to better create a stable, fair, transparent and predictable taxation business environment, add vitality to market players, and increase convenience for the people.
