The taxpayers affected by the epidemic late declaration or late submission of relevant information, exempted from administrative penalties, the relevant records are not included in the evaluation of tax credit; the taxpayers who have not declared the overdue declaration, the temporary not in accordance with the current provisions of the identification of non-normal households.

The above measures not only solve the problem of time-critical tax declarations, but also solve the practical difficulties of taxpayers affected by the epidemic temporarily without funds to pay taxes, is the tax department to effectively serve the specific embodiment of the taxpayers.

I hope my answer will help you.

Due to the seriousness of the epidemic and the wide range of impacts, it is impossible to pay taxes and contributions in accordance with the original tax deadlines. According to the needs of epidemic prevention and control, the State Administration of Taxation has issued a document to extend the deadline for filing tax returns:

1. For taxpayers and withholding agents who file their tax returns on a monthly basis, the deadline for filing tax returns for the statutory declaration of the month of February 2020 will be extended to February 24th across the country;

Taxpayers can log in to the invoicing software after February 18, 2020 to copy and file taxes.

These days, financiers are more concerned about tax declaration and tax payment. For some enterprises, due to the inability to resume work in a timely manner, may produce cash flow difficulties, and some enterprises may not be able to do the declaration on time. For all these cases, the financial personnel need to make arrangements in advance.

At present, for areas other than Hubei, the date of tax declaration has been extended to February 24th. The financial staff should complete the work of closing the accounts in advance, and at the same time make arrangements for the funds to see if the tax can be paid in full.

For those who don't have the means to complete the tax declaration on time, then try to declare the extension on the e-tax office in advance. Yesterday, the General Administration of Taxation issued another Circular to further clarify the issue about the extension. On the basis of the extension of the deadline for filing tax returns in February, taxpayers who still have difficulties in processing returns affected by the epidemic can apply for further extensions in accordance with the law. Epidemic serious areas, the payment of vehicle purchase tax and other taxpayers, withholding agents, due to the epidemic can not be specified deadline for the tax declaration, can be extended for processing.

For enterprises affected by the epidemic and experiencing serious difficulties in production and operation, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, the tax authorities should promptly approve their applications for deferral of tax payment according to the law, and actively help enterprises to alleviate the financial pressure.

Therefore, if the enterprises have difficulties, they can continue to postpone the tax declaration and payment of taxes.

At the same time, there are clearer provisions in some local tax policies. For example, Shanghai tax issued a tax operation guide to prevent and control the epidemic. It states that for enterprises that have difficulties in filing on time, they can apply for further extension in accordance with the law, with the maximum period not exceeding three months.

And, there are also instructions on what are the difficult enterprises that can extend their tax payments. Including the occurrence of a large loss, normal production and business activities have been greatly affected, or the current monetary funds after deducting wages and social security, not enough to pay the tax, etc.. Therefore, if the enterprise is really difficult, it is also necessary to carry out timely application for tax deferral.

Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about not being able to pay taxes on time, and you can apply for an extension if you are in compliance with the regulations. For those who still have specific problems and difficulties, it is recommended to contact the competent tax authorities in time for consultation and communication on related matters.

The current epidemic, the State Administration of Taxation issued a notice in February 2020, the statutory deadline for filing tax returns was extended to February 24; If there are still difficulties in processing, you can also apply for further extensions in accordance with the law.

The local tax authorities will, in accordance with the principle of "as far as possible online", comprehensively sort out the online tax payment matters, and to the taxpayers, payers tips for the channel and the relevant process, and actively guide the e-tax office, mobile APP, self-service tax terminals, and other channels to handle the business of taxes and fees. Taxpayers are vigorously advocated to apply for and issue invoices by means of "online application and postal delivery" or self-service terminals. For the personalized problems and demands encountered by taxpayers and fee payers in the process of tax and fee payment, the tax authorities will also give accurate, patient and detailed answers in the first time through various channels such as 12366 Tax Service Hotline, WeChat and video. For those who really need to go to the tax payment service place for business, the tax authorities will take the initiative to make an appointment for the taxpayers, the taxpayers in the latter part of the levy period time batch staggered to provide convenience, and do everything possible to reduce the risk of spreading the epidemic.

A lot of things in the plan are because of this sudden and ferocious epidemic interrupted, so for many business financiers, often concerned about the inability to pay taxes on time how to do? In fact, this problem of the state and the government have thought and a series of initiatives to reduce the negative impact, let's look at it.

First, the extension of the levy declaration period. This month is a small levy period, mainly involving taxpayers who declare on a monthly basis, the monthly declaration of taxpayers, withholding agents, nationwide will be the February 2020 statutory declaration of tax deadlines extended to February 24; Hubei and other serious epidemics in the region can be depending on the situation and then appropriately extended, the specific time by the Provincial Tax Bureau to determine and report to the For the record, taxpayers and withholding agents affected by the epidemic, after the extension of the deadline for filing tax returns for February 2020, which is still difficult to handle, can also apply for further extensions in accordance with the law. First of all there is not so much urgency in time.

The second is to vigorously implement the non-contact tax.

According to the principle of "as far as possible online", actively guide through the electronic tax bureau, mobile APP, self-service tax terminals and other channels for tax business, and strive to achieve more than 95% of the enterprise taxpayers, contributors online declaration. It vigorously advocates that taxpayers adopt the methods of "online application, postal delivery" or self-service terminals to apply for and issue invoices on behalf of taxpayers. Through the online tax, home office, and then through the third-party deduction agreement, the same can realize the purpose of online tax.

Three, can be declared on time, but the tax payment is difficult, no money how to do? First, study the recent intensive launch of tax incentives, eligible, and actively apply. For example, applying for a refund of the incremental retention tax, the transport transport epidemic prevention and control of key protection materials obtained income, exempted from VAT, taxpayers to provide public **** transportation services, living services, as well as for the residents to provide the necessary living materials courier collection and delivery services obtained income, exempted from VAT, and so on, once the conditions are met, to alleviate the pressure on the funds. Secondly, it is reasonable to utilize the time of tax obligation, by changing the contract and other ways, the time of tax obligation will be postponed to the next month, which can alleviate the urgency of tax payment. Finally, pay attention to the policies introduced to support enterprises in difficulty, for example, Jilin Province has introduced the use of "three pledges" to help small and medium-sized enterprise financing, give full play to the role of movable property mortgage, equity pledge, intellectual property pledge financing platform to provide enterprises with uniform, convenient and efficient financing services. During the epidemic prevention and control period, we should expand the scope and types of movable property mortgage registration, play the role of movable property mortgage financing, help the shortage of funds to stop the production of enterprises as soon as possible to put into production.

Four, taxpayers have difficulties in paying taxes, how to apply for an extension of the payment of taxes? ? Taxpayers can log on to the electronic tax bureau by selecting the "I want to do taxes", enter the "taxpayers to postpone payment of taxes approved", fill out and submit the application for postponement of payment of taxes using the "tax administrative licensing application form". After the tax authorities' approval is completed, taxpayers can obtain information on the approval results, and inquire and print the acceptance results. Taxpayers can also log in and select "I want to query" to enter the "tax progress and results of information query", query the progress and results.

In summary, due to the implementation of the online tax implementation coupled with the extension of time, the majority of enterprises can successfully complete the tax return, but there are some small and medium-sized micro-enterprises encountered some difficulties in their own operations do not have the money to pay taxes, at this time we have to look at the preferential policies can help their own, if not, then to the tax authorities to apply for an extension of time, by the impact of the epidemic in the production of enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, the tax authorities are responsible for the timely approval of the law, and the tax authorities are responsible for the timely approval of the tax return.
