App change shows tax authority has heeded people's concerns

TENANTS DO NOT need to fill in the house owners' name and identification card number while providing information to the tax authority when applying for personal income tax deductions after Sunday. Beijing News comments:

The tax bureau adjusted its app at the weekend so that it is no longer mandatory for tenants to provide information about the property owners when applying for a tax deduction against their rental payments.

Although it was a misinterpretation of the policy, it was said the "tax deduction for tenants was a tax on the landlord".
