Yesterday, the Beijing Local Taxation Bureau launched 18 measures under the "Spring Breeze Action" for convenient tax services, announcing the introduction of self-service issuance of individual income tax certificates, self-service invoice inquiries, and other services.

 

　　Building on the pilot self-service issuance of individual income tax payment certificates in Xicheng and Fangshan districts, the Beijing Local Taxation Bureau will extend this convenience measure citywide. This year, all 16 districts and counties will be covered by self-service tax service terminals. Citizens can scan their second-generation ID cards on the self-service system, select the start and end dates for the required tax payment certificate, and obtain their individual income tax payment certificate within seconds.

 

　　In addition, the Beijing Local Taxation Bureau provides taxpayers with tax-related information subscription services, mobile phone reminders, telephone consultation services, and online tax school tutoring services. It implements a first-inquiry responsibility system, standardizes entry points, and avoids pre-emptive buck-passing that affects efficiency. It provides tax guidance services to assist taxpayers in smoothly handling tax-related matters. It provides one-time notification services to prevent taxpayers from making multiple trips. It provides immediate processing services for tax registration and invoices to "improve efficiency"; provides invoice appointment and online authorization services to "facilitate convenience"; and provides online tax filing and self-service tax filing to "reduce burdens."
