Kailing Technology in-depth interpretation of the "Group Enterprise Tax Shared Management Platform" — the underlying logic from compliance management to digital strategic transformation

Driven by the digital wave, every level of enterprise operations is undergoing profound change. Tax management, as one of the key links in the lifeblood of enterprises, has also become a core need of corporate digital transformation due to the strong advancement of the "China Golden Tax Phase IV" project.

As a major reform in the field of tax collection and administration, the "China Golden Tax Phase IV" project has achieved deep integration and sharing of data within the tax system, strengthened information exchange with banks, industry and commerce, market regulation, and other departments, achieved "data-penetrating regulation", and built a tight "enterprise skynet". Against this backdrop, traditional manual tax management models are no longer sustainable, and digital tax management has become a necessary means for enterprises to operate steadily and develop sustainably in the data-driven era. For medium and large enterprises, especially group enterprises, with numerous subsidiaries and branches spread across regions and high tax management complexity, there is generally a lack of effective unified control tools and methods; the tax management levels of subsidiaries vary greatly, making it difficult to achieve group-level overall planning and risk prevention and control, with low tax management efficiency and high compliance costs. Therefore, group enterprises urgently need to build a tax shared service management platform to achieve the transition from compliance management to digital strategic transformation.

Pain points in enterprise tax management

  ▪ Efficiency bottlenecks devour operating profit:After the rollout of fully digitalized e-invoices, enterprises face new challenges in invoice receipt and issuance. In tax filing scenarios, enterprise digital management becomes more complex. Tax accountants need to manually organize various tax-related data and prepare tax filing forms in accordance with tax law requirements. The complexity of different tax types varies, and enterprise business and financial systems do not fully consider tax calculation efficiency, resulting in heavy workloads and error-proneness. At the same time, the tax filing process is also cumbersome with high labor costs, especially for industries with many tax entities, where tax management falls into a vicious cycle.

  ▪ Compliance risks rise exponentially:The powerful monitoring capability of "China Golden Tax Phase IV" makes it easy to precisely capture enterprise tax violations, leading to severe consequences such as heavy fines. Group enterprises have numerous subsidiaries and sub-subsidiaries, with uneven management capabilities and compliance awareness, resulting in high potential tax risks. For enterprises planning to go public, non-compliant behavior by individual subsidiaries may hinder the listing process and cause huge economic losses.

  ▪ Data silos hinder strategic decision-making:Between parent and subsidiary companies in group enterprises, financial and tax data are fragmented, lacking effective integration and sharing, making it difficult to form economies of scale and collaborative advantages. Inconsistent data formats and non-uniform standards make unified control at the group level difficult, creating data silos, making it impossible to accurately grasp local tax policies and real conditions, and difficult to conduct precise tax planning.

The path to breakthrough in building a tax digitalization platform

  ▪ Construction of a tax digital platform:Building a tax digitalization platform and achieving integrated business-finance-invoice-tax integration is a common choice for the sustainable development of group enterprises. Its essence is to fully integrate with the enterprise's internal sales, procurement, reimbursement, contract, finance, and other systems to achieve automation, standardization, and normalization of tax-related business processing, while accumulating large amounts of invoice, finance, and tax data to provide strong data support for enterprise risk monitoring, tax analysis, and precise planning. China's tax digitalization has undergone an evolution from initial informatization to comprehensive intelligence and data-driven development. Successful tax digitalization solutions require vendors to possess "tax professional knowledge" and "product R&D capability." Some domestic vendors have worked deeply in the tax digitalization field for many years, building tax calculation engines, risk control engines, and more to meet enterprises' full-process risk control requirements, and through the application of AI technology, they have improved the efficiency and accuracy of tax management.

▪ Technical advantages empowering tax management:Taking the tax reporting step in the tax filing scenario as an example, the various tax types and their subdivided scenarios involved by enterprises are numerous, tax form templates are adjusted from time to time due to policy changes, the filing pages of the electronic tax bureau also change frequently, and different tax regions nationwide have local differences, making the industry's so-called "one-click filing" a huge obstacle.Kailing Technology has alreadyAchieve "one-click filing" capability across multiple tax regions nationwide，For enterprisesProvide stable and reliable tax-enterprise direct connection filing services. At the same time, to adapt to continuous changes in tax authority policies and quickly adapt to business differences across industries and enterprises, a tax calculation engine was built to achieve automatic tax calculation for all tax types. A powerful risk control engine and rich risk control models also meet many enterprises' full-process risk control requirements for pre-warning, in-process control, and post-correction. An enterprise-level data analysis engine can support executives in efficiently coordinating group tax management work and grasping various tax-related data of subordinate subsidiaries in real time.

  ▪ Applications of AI technology:The rapid development of AI technology provides strong support for digital tax management.More and more manufacturersAfter connecting advanced AI technology, functions such as AI invoicing, AI tax filing, AI data analysis, and AI tax reports have become customers' "trendy" experience items. These functions not only improve the efficiency and accuracy of tax processing, but also provide enterprises with deeper tax insights and decision support.

Practical results of scenario-based solutions

  ▪ Applications in the chain catering industry:In the chain restaurant industry, enterprises, throughKailing TechnologyCooperation, connecting external systems such as Meituan and Ele.me as well as internal business systems, enabling invoice issuance by scanning codes and in batches, efficient business-finance-invoice-tax connection, and batch automatic filing and payment for multiple entities, forming a complete tax information system implementation solution that ensures efficient tax management and compliant operations for enterprises. NumerousChainCatering companies have all launched similar solutions, effectively solving problems such as scattered tax management and low efficiency caused by cross-regional operations.

  ▪ Applications for pharmaceutical chain enterprises:For pharmaceutical chain enterprises with an extremely large number of tax numbers,Kailing TechnologyHelp it build a tax shared service management platform to centrally manage, file, and pay taxes for numerous tax numbers at headquarters. For example, a leading pharmaceutical chain enterprise in Southwest China, with nearly 5,000 entities, achieved a maximum automatic execution time of only 85 seconds per filing task through this platform. Filing efficiency soared, the machine made no errors, and costs were greatly reduced, laying a compliance foundation for the enterprise's business development breakthrough in Southwest China.

  ▪ Applications in manufacturing:For manufacturing enterprises with heavy asset investment, tax-related business scenarios are more complex and compliance control requirements are higher.For example,By the end of 2024, leading intelligent manufacturing manufacturers andKailing TechnologyThrough collaborative efforts, successfully completed the launch of the business-finance-tax digital-intelligence integrated platform. Through this platform, automatic tax calculation and filing for all tax types, unified management of business-finance-tax policies and tax archives were achieved, and a tax analysis and risk control system was built in parallel, ensuring its compliant operations and enhancing its systematic tax management capabilities.
