"I want to open a breakfast shop. The bank staff told me that I just need to scan the QR code on the service card, and then all tax procedures can be done online. All it takes is a visit to the bank to get my business started!" Mr Li, who has completed all tax-related procedures for his newly opened shop, said happily.

The "Convenient tax service banking" service that Mr Li enjoyed is jointly promoted by the East District Branch of the Zhongshan Taxation Bureau and Zhongshan Rural Commercial Bank.

"In the past, to start a business and complete all tax procedures, individual business taxpayers needed to first get a tripartite agreement from a tax office, fill it out and hand it over to a bank for entry, and complete the final signing online via the tax bureau. The new banking service will facilitate the taxation for new individual business taxpayers with great convenience," said a spokesperson of the East District Branch of the Zhongshan Taxation Bureau.
