Beijing Taxation Bureau said it has launched China's first online departure tax‑refund store and opened the city's first centralized hotel tax‑refund payment points for the hotel sector. Overseas visitors who purchase online can now complete departure tax refunds at hotels, extending refund coverage beyond physical stores. The bureau said the measure expands refund scenarios to online shopping platforms and it is accelerating nationwide mutual recognition of “buy‑now‑refund‑now” to enable “depart elsewhere, nationwide refund.”(金十数据)
