Since the launch of the individual income tax settlement in 2021 on March 1, the tax department has continued to consolidate and expand the achievements of party history learning and education in combination with the “I do practical things for taxpayers and taxpayers and the spring action of tax convenience for the people” in 2022. After launching the appointment handling service in the individual income tax settlement, it has also launched the initiative of giving priority to tax refund to taxpayers with “senior and junior” and heavy burden of seeing a doctor. As of March 9, 3.446 million taxpayers who meet the priority tax rebate conditions have submitted tax rebate applications, of which 2.04 million have successfully obtained tax rebates, with a tax rebate amount of 2.72 billion yuan.
Which groups can enjoy preferential tax rebate? According to the relevant person in charge of the State Administration of Taxation, taxpayers who filled in two special additional deductions for supporting the elderly and children’s education at the same time in the 2021 individual income tax settlement, or filled in the special additional deduction for serious illness medical treatment, can have priority to obtain the tax refund after submitting the tax refund application according to the appointment time before March 15. After March 16, there is no need to make an appointment. You can directly apply for annual final settlement and get the tax refund first.
“This year, for those of us who are old and young, the tax department has launched a priority tax refund service, and the tax refund will arrive in only two days.” Mr. Li, an employee of a metal forging enterprise in Anhui Province, handled the final settlement through the personal income tax app on March 4 and made an appointment to apply for the tax refund. On March 6, he received a SMS reminder of the arrival of the tax refund.
In addition to taxpayers with “senior and junior”, taxpayers with heavy burden of seeing a doctor can also enjoy preferential tax rebate. Ms. Zhang, a teacher of a primary school in Beijing, spent a lot of money to see a doctor in 2021. Ms. Zhang handled the annual settlement according to the appointment time and truthfully filled in the special additional deduction for serious illness medical treatment. The tax withheld and prepaid can apply for all tax rebates. After the application submitted by Ms. Zhang is reviewed by the tax authorities, the relevant materials are complete and correct, and the tax refund will arrive in three days. “I didn’t expect the tax rebate review speed to be so fast that those of us who have a heavy burden of seeing a doctor really feel the concern of the state.” Ms. Zhang praised the warm service of the tax department.
Under the unified deployment of the State Administration of Taxation, local tax departments, in combination with the “I do practical things for taxpayers and taxpayers and facilitate the spring breeze of tax”, widely carry out publicity, guidance and training on annual individual income tax settlement through Wuxi Online Offline Communication Information Technology Co.Ltd(300959) various ways, and send appointment tax reminders through various channels to ensure that taxpayers, especially specific taxpayers, can successfully handle individual income tax settlement.
After the introduction of preferential tax rebate measures for specific groups, the tax department, together with the Treasury and other departments, continued to optimize the process and improve the audit quality and efficiency, so that qualified taxpayers can effectively feel the policy temperature and tax speed. The tax department also reminds taxpayers not to trust all kinds of “tax refund secrets” on the Internet. They must truthfully fill in the annual tax refund data and be honest and trustworthy taxpayers.
