Lately, the General Office of the State Taxation Administration (STA) issued the Notice of Adhering to the Principle of Organizing Tax Revenues to Ensure the Effective Implementation of the Tax and Fee Reduction Policies, effective from the date of issuance.

近日，国家税务总局办公厅下发《关于坚持组织收入原则 确保减税降费政策进一步落地见效的通知》，该通知自公布之日起生效。
