A series of policy effects continue to be released, providing strong support for the construction of a unified national market. In August this year, the State Taxation Administration issued the "Notice on Further Facilitating Taxpayers' Cross-district Migration and Serving the Construction of a Unified National Market," introducing a series of measures from "optimizing pre-reminding" to "accelerating in-process handling" and "improving post-service" to further facilitate taxpayers' cross-district migration. Guangdong Kehai Building Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. experienced the "seamless connection" of tax-related matters handling when it moved from Shenzhen to Guangzhou Nansha. "The tax authorities reminded and guided us to handle unfinished tax-related matters, helped us complete the business transfer, and we did not need to cancel and re-register. Our tax qualifications, credit levels, and other elements were automatically transferred," said Zhang Biao, the person in charge of the company's business.
The reporter learned from the Hebei tax authorities that Hebei has strengthened the tax policy guidance for enterprises moving out and moving in, continued to increase the intensity of cross-regional collaborative services, optimized the migration process of corporate tax-related matters, and expanded online processing channels, accelerating the construction of a precise supervision and fine service system covering the entire process of corporate migration before, during, and after the event.
The tax authorities of Sichuan and Chongqing have established a cooperation mechanism to promote the online processing of multiple tax and fee services, giving more enterprises the motivation to operate across provinces.

Last year, the group's sales in Sichuan exceeded 50 million yuan, and it also built two factories in Sichuan.

Chen Lihong, the financial person in charge of Shanghai Freccis Valve Co., Ltd., introduced: "Through the matchmaking and bridging by the tax authorities, we have found several companies that have a close connection with our valve industry chain and supply chain, providing effective help for our cross-provincial operations and market development."

In 2023, the company enjoyed a preferential policy of halving the urban land use tax for the land used by logistics enterprises for bulk commodity storage facilities, saving more than 300,000 yuan in taxes. The saved tax money was used to upgrade transportation services and business expansion, effectively enhancing the company's operational capabilities and customer experience. Hou Rui, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the State Taxation Administration of Xingtai City, said that the tax authorities continue to focus on regional and industrial advantages, give full play to the role of tax big data, and make tax policies indicator-based and labeled, accurately "portraying" taxpayers to achieve precise "finding" of tax policies, allowing transportation and logistics operators to fully enjoy the policy dividends.
