China's first online tax payment system has been launched in Beijing for a test run, enabling businesses and individuals to pay taxes via the Internet, the Beijing Local Taxation Bureau has announced.

The new system links taxation bureaus, fiscal departments and banks together, consisting of subsystems of electronic declaration, electronic payment and electronic management.

"Once the system is in full operation and covers the entire city, tax payment can not only be fulfilled at the service centers of taxation offices and bank counters, but also at the taxpayer's home or office," said Wang Jiping, director of the Beijing Local Taxation Bureau.

"Taxpayers can submit tax forms and documents via the Internet and thus spare themselves the trouble of going to taxation offices personally," Wang added. "This also saves staff workers at taxation counters from repetitive work and raises efficiency."

Taxation institutions that have first introduced the online tax payment system include the Haidian Branch, Chong Wen Branch, West Railway Station Branch and Foreigners' Service Branch of the Beijing Local Taxation Bureau, as well as the Beijing branches of China Merchants Bank.
