The Golden Tax Project Launches the Tax Control Industry (Finance and Taxation)
Our reporter Zhang Ran
All signs indicate that the tax control cash register industry is rising rapidly. In October last year, the long-awaited " National Standard for Tax Control Cash Registers" was finally settled. At the same time, Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Changchun were established as the first batch of pilot cities for bank-tax integration in the country. Reporters learned that many giants in the home appliance and IT industries have been involved in tax control machines. As their new cheese, home appliance industries such as Desay, Hisense, and Stone have developed or are developing and producing this project. 90 billion yuan: Golden Tax Project and Big Market The development of tax control cash registers is an emerging industry driven by the implementation of the Golden Tax Project by the state. On February 1, 1994, the "Golden Tax" project, which aims to implement the main goal of strengthening value-added tax management, began to be planned. At the end of March of the same year, the "Golden Tax" project pilot was officially launched. The Golden Tax Project refers to the informationization project of tax collection and management. With the completion of its first and second phases, the core part, the anti-counterfeiting tax control invoicing system, has been put into operation nationwide, with more than 600,000 users, basically covering general taxpayers who use value-added tax invoices. At present, China's tax informationization is at a critical moment of climbing from the second step to the third step. By August 2002, the State Administration of Taxation had clearly put forward the overall goal of the Golden Tax Project (Phase III): according to the principle of integration, an application system platform based on unified standards will be established. Relying on computer networks, the State Administration and provincial bureaus will highly centrally process information, covering all tax types, all work links, national and local tax bureaus and networking with relevant , including the four major subsystems of tax collection and management business, administrative management, external information, and decision support, and smoothly transitioning from the current situation of "multiple platforms and multiple application systems" to "one platform, two-level processing, three coverages, and four systems". With the continuous improvement of the Golden Tax Project, the prospects of China's tax control industry are increasingly attracting attention. According to statistics from relevant departments , based on the calculation of more than 30 million taxpayers nationwide, the theoretical market demand for tax control cash registers is 30 million units. Calculated at 3,000 yuan per unit, the national market value is about 90 billion yuan. 100 companies: Generalization and intelligence show their magical power Although China's tax control industry has only been started for more than ten years, there are now nearly 100 domestic tax control device manufacturers . The huge market demand has led domestic home appliance and IT industries such as Guangdong Desay, Beijing Sitong, and Shandong Hisense to launch tax control projects. However, each company has its own and the products they produce are also designed and manufactured according to their own concepts. The performance, requirements and standards of the products are different, which has caused many problems for users during use, such as different invoice specifications, difficulty in displaying Chinese characters according to standards, lack of character creation function, and inadequate after-sales service. With the promotion and implementation of the "Golden Tax Project" across the country, the customer base of tax control products is constantly increasing, and customers' requirements for tax control products are also constantly improving. The introduction of national standards is to promote the standardization and universalization of China's tax control industry , but there is still a long way to go to achieve this goal in the domestic market. Desay, a major DVD company, has now entered the tax control industry and is also thinking about the field of tax control cash registers. This company, which claims to have a particularly long product line, claims that they will rely on their strong advantages in the electronic information industry for more than 20 years to become a mainstream provider of information solutions for domestic taxation, finance, and public systems. The slogan they are proposing is the same as that of other companies that are well versed in home appliance or IT manufacturing and marketing. They are trying to gradually make tax control products "universal", "humanized", "foolproof" and "intelligent" through their powerful R&D system , and actively seek to join hands with domestic IT companies to achieve the bundling of tax control products and IT products. 5 standards: It is not easy to share a big cake . With the success and continuous expansion of pilot projects in Beijing, Zhuhai and other markets, as well as the introduction of relevant policies, industry standards and the follow-up of supporting hardware and software, the conditions for the overall promotion of the "Golden Tax Project" are becoming more and more mature. It is reported that Desay has deployed troops in all tax control markets in various places. At the same time, the major tax control have also begun to move, and the market competition will be extremely fierce. Although the tax control cash register market is large, it is not easy to share. Large-scale manufacturers will definitely not give up easily, and small and medium-sized manufacturers also have their own ways of survival. Those with funds and strength will develop on their own; those with funds but no strength or those with strength but no funds will cooperate with OEM or ODM. Every manufacturer is seeking a way to survive. Industry insiders believe that taxation is related to the security of national fiscal revenue. Therefore, in the " Management Measures for the Promotion and Use of Tax Control Cash Registers" to be issued soon, higher specific requirements will be put forward for manufacturers in five aspects, including funds, technology, manufacturing, marketing network and services, which will carry out necessary rectification of the industry. Huang Jian, marketing director of Desay Group, also said that the comprehensive strength of enterprises in the five aspects of management systems such as funds, technology, manufacturing, marketing network and services will be tested. It is difficult to gain a foothold if they only rely on a single ability. In his opinion, the competition in the tax control cash register industry is a knockout game. It won’t take long before some small - scale companies with weak capital and R&D capabilities will withdraw.
