The snowflake is dancing in the air， and the biting wind is blowing violently. From Jan. 31 to Feb. 1， Secretary of Party Leadership Group and Director-General of the State Administration of Taxation （SAT） Xiao Jie and accompanying officials faced the blizzards and braved the severe cold to pay a special visit to Anhui Province and expressed sympathy and solicitude to the masses of grass-roots tax officers.
Since the middle of January， there was a widespread fall of heavy snow in Anhui Province successively with the snow lying above the thickness of 20cm in large areas， even above the thickness of 40cm in some areas and the disaster-stricken population exceeding 10 million.
Accompanied by the leaders of Bureau of State Taxation and Bureau of Local Taxation of Anhui Province， Xiao Jie paid a visit to the staff of these two tax authorities at the provincial level， specially went down to the grass-roots Bureaus of State Taxation and Bureaus of Local Taxation in Luyang District， Baohe District， Economic & Technological Development Zone of Hefei City， and walked into the tax service halls and offices to cordially shake hands， exchanged ideas with and expressed the festival greetings to the grass-roots tax officers.

He hoped that the tax authorities at different levels seriously carried out the spirit of the important instructions of the CPC central Committee and the State Council， and under the unified leadership of the local party committees and governments， took current disaster relief as an urgent task， conscientiously strengthened the organization and leadership， clarified the assignment of jobs and responsibilities， intensified the emergency measures， spared no effort to guarantee the safety of the masses of tax cadres and workers and the tax money of the country， did well in the tax payment services， and make appropriate arrangements for the living of the masses of tax cadres and workers， so as to guarantee that everyone can enjoy a happy Spring Festival.
Xiao Jie stressed that this year， there were some uncertain factors in the operation of economy； hence， tax authorities at different levels should strengthen the monitoring， analysis and precaution of the incomes of the taxpayers， report the problems if they have been found out promptly and take positive solutions， so as to ensure the successful completion of the set target of the tax revenue. At present， tax authorities at different levels should seriously carry out and implement the "Law of the People's Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax" and the "Rules for the Implementation of Law of the People's Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax"， further strengthen the relevant propaganda and training， patiently accomplish the relevant explanation and guidance， so as to gain the understanding and cooperation of the taxpayers； tax authorities at different levels should solidly make great efforts to the self declaration of individual income tax for the taxpayers with an annual income reaching and above RMB 120，000.00； tax authorities at different levels should strengthen the tax collection administration， launch specialized campaigns to resolutely and severely crack down the illegal activities and crimes， such as the fabrication and sales of false invoices， illegal agent invoice issuing， etc.
Xiao Jie stressed that the tax authorities at different levels should stick to the requirement of building a service-oriented government to offer services in conformity with legal provisions and in a just and civilized way， encourage taxpayers to motivate to pay the taxes in conformity with legal provisions and continuously improve their compliance with tax laws. Tax authorities at different levels can study and adopt the personalized service methods targeting the different characteristics and demands of taxpayers and continuously improve the service quality. He pointed it out that the acceleration of information construction is not only the need to strengthen the tax collection management， but also the need to optimize the tax payment services； the tax authorities should promptly and seriously give answers to the problems put forward by the taxpayers through the websites and other channels and publicize the information technology into the tax payment services. |
