How to evaluate tax-paying credit
Every year, the tax authorities evaluate the credit status of taxpayers based on four dimensions of subjective attitude, compliance ability, actual results and dishonesty degree, and nearly 100 evaluation indexes.

According to the principle of trustworthy incentive and punishment for dishonesty, the tax authorities implement classified service and management for taxpayers with different credit levels.
Grade A: annual evaluation index score above 90 points;
Grade B: the annual evaluation index score is more than 70 points but less than 90 points;
Grade M: newly established enterprises or no production and operation business income in the evaluation year, and the annual evaluation index score is more than 70 points;
Grade C: the annual evaluation index score is more than 40 points but less than 70 points;
