Since the beginning of this year, Shanxi province's taxation sector has continuously increased its adherence to legal taxation, data-driven taxation, and strict taxation management, steadily enhancing administrative and government efficiency to propel high-quality economic development.

Shanxi is at a crucial juncture for promoting high-quality development and deepening comprehensive transformation. Provincial tax authorities insist on organizing tax collection in accordance with laws and regulations and have introduced a series of preferential policies to ensure the implementation of structural tax reductions and fee cuts.

Data indicates that from January to October, the province had granted tax reductions, fee cuts, and refunds totaling 20.77 billion yuan ($2.85 billion) to support technological innovation and the development of the manufacturing industry, facilitating the growth of strategic emerging industries.

Shanxi also uses modern information technologies such as big data and cloud computing to advance tax digitalization and intelligent transformation. By focusing on taxpayers' urgent needs and concerns, the tax department has introduced 12 smart business scenario functions, significantly reducing tax filing frequencies.

Employing interactive service platforms and the new online tax bureau, the province has facilitated "cross-region processing" for taxpayers and streamlined real estate tax registration under a single window, thus substantially enhancing the convenience of tax and fee transactions.

Shanxi's tax authorities have also established a special task force to address tax-related issues arising from irregular investment attraction. They are also implementing a normalized monitoring index system to promptly address problems and foster a fairer and more dynamic market environment.
