The Ministry of Finance also plans to strive to complete the revision of the “Individual Income Tax Law” in 2018. At the same time, the tax collection and management system is undergoing major changes. The national land tax will be completed within this year. The three-phase gold tax system has become online throughout the country. All these provide strong data support for tax collection and management. In addition, the CRS ("Common Reporting Standard") has landed in China, and the State Administration of Taxation will, for the first time in 2018, exchange non-resident financial account information with tax bureaus of other countries/regions, further promoting the transparency of individual foreign assets and income information.

Enterprises and individuals will also meet more new challenges in terms of compliance risk and cost control.
