SAT formulates and administers the PRC tax regime, including income and enterprise taxes, consumption tax, value-added tax (VAT), and tax incentives for investors. SAT works jointly with the Ministry of Finance, Customs, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on both policy formation and implementation. SAT has achieved recent success in increasing tax collection through a clampdown on tax evasion and VAT fraud, including construction of a national information technical foundation network as part of China's "E-port" system. SAT's long-term priorities include reformulating China's tax regime to align treatment of foreign and domestic enterprises and shifting gradually from a production-based to a consumption-based VAT.
