The full name of rural finance bureau is township finance bureau. It used to be called the Agricultural Tax Bureau. After the central government abolished the agricultural tax, its function and name changed. However, whether it is called the Agricultural Tax Bureau or the Rural Finance Bureau, it is under the jurisdiction of the Finance Bureau at the same level. As for the level and nature of the unit, local regulations vary.

The township finance bureau has set up a township finance office in each township to implement dual management. In terms of business management, personnel management and treatment, the finance office is managed by the Finance Bureau, and in terms of administrative management and specific work, the finance office is managed by the local township government.
