Tax compliance under the national unified market: recommended full lifecycle solution for platform enterprise tax-related information reporting

In June 2025, the State Council promulgated and implemented the Provisions on the Reporting of Tax-Related Information by Internet Platform Enterprises, marking that tax regulation of the platform economy has entered a new stage of standardization and refinement. This policy is not only an important measure to curb "involution-style" disorderly competition and break local illegal investment promotion, but also a key lever for advancing the building of a unified national market in depth.

Against this background, how small and medium-sized internet platform enterprises can quickly respond to policy requirements and achieve full-process tax compliance has become a core issue that urgently needs to be solved. Based on policy direction and enterprise pain points, Kailing Technology has launched a full-lifecycle tax compliance solution for platform enterprises, providing enterprises with integrated support from data collection to declaration and submission.

I. Policy-driven: Compliance is the "survival bottom line" for platform enterprises

The "Provisions on the Reporting of Tax-Related Information by Internet Platform Enterprises" clarify tiered compliance requirements: in July, the platform's own basic information (domain name, business type, operating entity, etc.) must be reported for the first time; from October, identity information and income information of operators and practitioners within the platform must be reported periodically, and obligations for individual income tax withholding and VAT and surcharge agency filing must be fulfilled. Tax authorities are simultaneously upgrading information systems and unifying reporting standards, treating domestic and foreign platform enterprises equally, ensuring a "level playing field" regulatory environment.

For small and medium-sized platform enterprises lacking a professional tax team, policy implementation faces three challenges: first, data is scattered, making information integration difficult, with practitioner identity information, transaction order data, commission ledgers, etc. scattered across different systems; second, real-time tax calculation needs are urgent, and the payment stage requires precise withholding of individual income tax and payment of VAT and surcharges on behalf, while traditional manual accounting is error-prone and inefficient; third, the filing process is complex, requiring distinction between different scenarios such as identity information reporting, income information reporting, and summary filing, with high compliance costs.

II. Full lifecycle solution: from data foundation to filing closed loop

Kailing Technology with "data source-Tax calculation-With the full-process integration of "filing" as the core, build a solution with three modules working in coordination, covering the entire lifecycle of tax compliance for platform enterprises.

1. Data source management: building a solid foundation for compliant data

Data is the foundation of tax compliance. This module integrates three core data sources to achieve "collect once, reuse throughout":

▪ Practitioner basic information database: records full lifecycle data of real-name registered users within the platform (from registration to deregistration), automatically generates individual income tax personnel information forms, provides a basis for confirming the identity of taxpayers;

▪ Transaction income information ledger: real-time synchronization of each transaction order data, including income amount, transaction time, payment status, etc., as the original voucher for tax calculation and income information reporting;

▪ Commission and fee ledger: separately record the commissions and fees the platform collects from practitioners, meeting the tax bureau's regulatory requirements to "back-calculate income and prevent tax evasion," ensuring income data is traceable and verifiable.

Through centralized management of data sources, platform enterprises can completely eliminate the 'data silo' problem and provide complete and accurate data support for subsequent tax calculation and filing.

2. Tax calculation management: a real-time and precise "tax calculator"

In response to the requirement that taxes must be withheld and remitted at the payment stage starting from October, the tax calculation management module realizes real-time response of "tax calculation at transaction":

▪ Real-time calculation of VAT and surcharges: based on the transaction order amount, automatically applies the levy rate to calculate the VAT and surcharge payable on behalf, and supports tax rate switching across multiple scenarios;

▪ Intelligent individual income tax withholding calculation: focusing on "labor remuneration income (continuous labor services)," accurately calculating the individual income tax amount to be withheld based on cumulative income, special additional deductions and other factors, avoiding manual calculation errors;

▪ Flexible adaptation for tax-enterprise settlement: if practitioners and merchants agree on after-tax income settlement, the module can automatically back-calculate pre-tax income from the after-tax amount, ensuring the tax calculation base is compliant;

▪ Efficient handling of corrected filing: for special situations such as cross-month payment failures, distinguish "before filing" and "after filing" scenarios, providing current-period data adjustment and bureau-side corrected filing support respectively to ensure data accuracy.

3. Tax-related information reporting: one-click completion of multi-scenario filing

Closely following the reporting scenarios required by policy, the module achieves "one-stop" filing management:

▪ Basic information submission: support regular updates and submission of the platform's own basic information (domain name, business type, etc.), meeting the needs of the first submission in July and subsequent maintenance;

▪ Personnel and income information reporting: automatically aggregates employee identity information and income details, generates submission files compliant with tax standards, and completes quarterly reporting starting from October with one click;

▪ Tax and fee filing integration: integrates VAT and surcharges (agency filing, consolidated filing) and individual income tax withholding filing functions, and simultaneously supports personnel information reporting linked with individual income tax filing, with fully online operations reducing offline trips.

III. Solution value: Two-way empowerment of compliance and development

For small and medium-sized internet platform enterprises, the value of Kailing's solution is reflected in the dual dimensions of "lower compliance costs" and "seizing development opportunities":

▪ Compliance Level: Through automated data collection, tax calculation, and filing, reduce reliance on professional tax personnel, cut compliance costs by over 60%, and avoid penalty risks from misreporting or omission;

▪ Efficiency level: Tax calculation response time for transaction orders shortened to milliseconds, and the filing process compressed from days to hours, saving enterprises substantial labor and time costs;

▪ Development level: during the policy dividend period, with improved compliance capabilities, the platform can more efficiently attract practitioners to join and expand merchant cooperation, achieving dual growth in users and revenue scale and seizing the opportunity of the unified large market.

In the wave of building a unified national market, tax compliance has become the admission ticket for platform enterprises to participate in fair competition. Kailing Technology's full lifecycle tax compliance solution takes policy as the guiding principle and technology as the instrument, helping platform enterprises shift from "passive compliance" to "active compliance" and seize new opportunities in standardized development.
