Since 2021, the digital transformation of tax collection and administration, focusing on the "Fourth Phase of Golden Tax", is vigorously carried out and has also achieved phased results. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China explained the essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization. Taxation departments must further clarify the direction, identify gaps, and promote tax modernization to better serve Chinese-style modernization.

Tax-related Characteristics of the Digital Economy
The digital economy has a broad and far-reaching impact on taxation, mainly in increasing the liquidity of tax sources. In addition to traditional physical places, the digital economy has made intangible assets and data owned by taxpayers the main factors of production, and trading venues have also become flexible and changeable. The digitization of transactions has led to greater liquidity in tax sources.
In the era of digital economy, the flow and sharing of data have subverted traditional business methods and presented a business model that integrates multiple industries. The original "enterprise-employee" contract system has transitioned to a "platform-individual" cooperation model, and a large number of natural person tax payments have emerged.
In addition, the virtuality of the Internet blurs the true identities of both parties to the transaction in the digital economy. Transactions can be concluded without meeting, making it difficult to determine the identity of the taxpayer.
