In the past, a lack of digitization meant that local tax authorities in China had to manually input tax return data into their systems. Not only was this time-consuming and error-prone, it also made it difficult to detect VAT fraud. As part of a far-reaching initiative to boost the accuracy and efficiency of tax administration across the country, China has mandated local tax authorities to digitize and integrate their systems with the state’s central tax exchange: the Golden Tax System.
