China News Service, December 22. The Beijing Municipal Taxation Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation and the Guangdong Provincial Taxation Bureau respectively issued notices on their official websites on the 22nd, stating that paying taxes in accordance with the law is the obligation of every citizen.
