Individual income tax filing challenges for Internet platform practitioners? Kailing Technology's individual income tax filing solution adapts to new policy requirements

As the digital economy flourishes, internet platforms have become an important vehicle for employment and entrepreneurship, and the scale of groups such as platform operators, online streamers, and flexible workers continues to expand. At the same time, the compliance pressure of individual income tax filing and tax-related information reporting is becoming increasingly prominent. In June 2025, the State Taxation Administration successively issued Announcement No. 15, the "Announcement of the State Taxation Administration on Matters Concerning the Reporting of Tax-Related Information by Internet Platform Enterprises," and No. 16, the "Announcement of the State Taxation Administration on Several Matters Concerning Internet Platform Enterprises Handling Withholding Filing and Agency Filing for Practitioners on the Platform," which clearly define the reporting of tax-related information by internet platform enterprises, individual income tax withholding filing and agency filing for practitioners. The implementation of the new policies both regulates industry order and brings entirely new compliance challenges to platform enterprises.

Kailing Technology has long been deeply engaged in the field of business-finance-tax digitalization and has launched a targeted individual income tax filing solution, precisely solving industry pain points, fully adapting to new policy requirements, and making platform individual income tax agency services more compliant, more efficient, and more intelligent.

I. Industry Pain Points Highlighted: Individual Income Tax Filing on Behalf Faces Multiple Challenges

The strict requirements of the new policy and the complexity of platform operations make individual income tax agency filing a major challenge for internet platforms, with the main pain points concentrated in the following areas。

(1) Great Difficulty in Policy Understanding and Adaptation

Tax policies are updated frequently. Announcements No. 15 and No. 16 involve multiple detailed rules such as tax-related information reporting, individual income tax withholding calculation, and application of VAT preferences, and policy differences may exist across regions. The platform needs to invest substantial effort in interpreting policies to ensure that the filing process and calculation standards are fully compliant and avoid tax-related risks caused by misunderstandings.

(II) High pressure in data processing and integration

Platform practitioners are large in scale and highly mobile, with frequent onboarding, offboarding, and transfers leading to dynamic changes in identity information and income data; at the same time, work such as multi-institution data collection, cross-system data aggregation, and verification of income and deduction information is cumbersome, requiring significant labor costs and being prone to data errors.

(3) Insufficient declaration efficiency and operational convenience

The traditional manual submission model of the electronic tax bureau is inefficient, with complex switching between multiple accounts and multiple tax ID entities, making it difficult to handle the massive data submission requirements of quarterly filing. In addition, the cumulative withholding method involves complex calculations such as continuous income accumulation and deduction calculation, which is not only time-consuming but also prone to calculation errors when done manually.

(4) High compliance risks and control difficulty

The new policy imposes extremely high requirements on the authenticity, accuracy, and completeness of tax-related information. Platform-reported data must be shared and compared with tax authority systems. Once problems such as data inconsistency or untimely reporting occur, the enterprise will face high fines and credit downgrade risks; moreover, false reporting, improper voucher retention, and other acts can also affect eligibility for pre-tax deduction of enterprise income tax.

II. Kailing Technology Solutions: full-process solution to agency challenges

In response to the core pain points of individual income tax agency services for internet platforms, Kailing Technology, relying on years of experience in business-finance-tax digital services, has launched an individual income tax filing solution of policy adaptation plus technological empowerment plus full-process service, covering the entire chain from data collection to filing and payment, perfectly meeting the requirements of Announcements No. 15 and No. 16.

(1) Basic architecture: multi-system collaboration with seamless data integration

The solution takes the internet tax-related management platform as its core, achieving deep integration with the platform's business system, financial system, and HR system, automatically synchronizing basic data such as employee identity information, income details, and social insurance and housing fund, without manual re-entry. It also supports batch import and export of personnel information, dynamic updates, and automatic verification of data completeness and accuracy, ensuring filing data is authentic and traceable, laying a solid foundation for compliant filing.

(II) Core Functions: Full-Scenario Coverage, Precisely Adapted to New Policies

1. Intelligent reporting of tax-related information:According to the new policy requirements, automatically generate 7 types of reports including the Internet Platform Enterprise Basic Information Reporting Form, Practitioner Identity Information Reporting Form, and Income Information Reporting Form. For special scenarios such as online live streaming platforms and overseas platforms, automatically adapt to special reporting needs such as related relationship forms and overseas operator information forms, realizing "one-click filling and batch reporting."

2. Integrated filing of individual income tax and VAT:Built-in intelligent tax calculation engine, automatically calculating individual income tax payable strictly according to the cumulative withholding method, simultaneously adapting to preferential policies for small-scale VAT taxpayers, automatically calculating tax exemption amounts and taxable amounts; supports integrated processing of individual income tax withholding filing and VAT and surcharge filing on behalf of others, with no need to switch platforms, ensuring filing completeness.

3. Centralized control of multiple entities:Supports centralized filing management for multiple tax number entities, enabling task assignment, progress tracking, and result queries for different entities without switching accounts; it also provides user permission tiered management, visualized filing task monitoring, and real-time process risk alerts, meeting the compliance control needs of group platforms.

4. Convenient full-process operation:Achieve full-process online operations from "basic information initialization - automatic generation of tax returns - filing/correction/voiding - tax payment - issuance of tax payment certificates," support objection appeal handling and historical tax filing data tracing; interfaces connect directly to the Electronic Tax Bureau and the Natural Person Electronic Tax Bureau, with the backend automatically synchronizing data, eliminating manual submission and switching between multiple systems.

(3) Scenario adaptation: targeted solutions for special needs

1.For domestic platforms:Clarify the reporting entity according to the principle of "certificate holders first, filing supplementation, service as fallback," and automatically match the corresponding reporting forms and processes;

2. For online live streaming platforms:Automatically collect information on the association between streamers and service agencies, generate special reporting forms, and ensure accurate reporting of association relationship information;

3. For overseas platforms:Precisely distinguish income information of domestic and overseas operators, and temporarily exempt from reporting the income of domestic buyers with a quarterly cumulative net transaction amount of 5,000 yuan or less, reducing reporting pressure;

4. For multi-platform income scenarios:Connect to the tax authority's information system to automatically receive aggregated cross-platform income information of practitioners, and complete agency aggregated filing and tax payment as required.

(IV) Risk control: full-cycle support, worry-free compliance

The solution has a built-in tax-related risk analysis module that compares filing data with tax authority system data in real time, and automatically alerts on risk points such as data inconsistency, reporting timeouts, and incorrect application of preferential policies; at the same time, it saves vouchers such as real-name verification records, business transaction details, and settlement payment records according to new policy requirements, supporting one-click query and export, ensuring pre-tax deduction vouchers are compliant and valid. In addition, the system automatically records the full filing process log, forming a complete compliance traceability chain, effectively avoiding administrative penalties and credit downgrade risks.

III. Adapting to new policies + technology empowerment: building a new ecosystem for compliant and efficient filing

Kailing Technology's individual income tax filing solution not only precisely meets the new policy requirements of the State Taxation Administration, but also achieves dual improvements in compliance and efficiency through technological innovation, bringing multiple values to internet platforms。

(1) Compliance assurance: precise policy adaptation

Strictly follow the reporting scope, content, timing, and process requirements of Announcements No. 15 and No. 16; report generation, tax calculation logic, and voucher management all comply with tax laws and regulations, ensuring full compliance of platform tax-related filing and effectively avoiding risks such as fines and suspension of business for rectification.

(II) Efficiency improvement: significantly reducing costs

Functions such as automated data collection, intelligent tax calculation, and batch filing shorten the filing process by more than 80% and reduce manual operations by 90%; designs such as centralized management of multiple entities and direct interface filing solve challenges such as switching between multiple accounts and processing massive data, significantly improving filing efficiency and ease of operation.

(3) Accuracy assurance: intelligent data verification

Through mechanisms such as cross-validation of multi-system data, precise calculation by the tax calculation engine, and real-time comparison of filing data, manual entry errors and calculation deviations are eliminated, ensuring filing data is accurate and avoiding tax inspections and adjustments caused by data issues.

(4) Solid security: end-to-end data encryption

Adopt bank-level data encryption technology to provide full lifecycle security protection for sensitive information such as practitioner identity information, income data, and filing records, strictly complying with data security laws and regulations, preventing information leakage, and safeguarding the information security of the platform and practitioners.

The implementation of State Taxation Administration Announcements No. 15 and No. 16 of 2025 marks that tax-related management of internet platforms has entered a stage of standardization and refinement, and the compliance and efficiency of individual income tax filing on behalf have become an important part of platforms' core competitiveness. Guided by the requirements of the new policies and supported by technological innovation, Kailing Technology's individual income tax filing solution precisely addresses industry pain points and achieves intelligent, compliant management of the entire process of tax-related information reporting, individual income tax withholding filing, and VAT filing on behalf.
