Poorer areas to benefit, says online business operator

Tax cuts will not just benefit small businesses in vibrant centers such as Shanghai and Shen-zhen, Guangdong province, but some of the poorer areas of the country as well, according to Liang Qianjuan.

The 32-year-old runs Longshan Zhuangyuan, an online store in Longnan, a small village in Gansu province, on which she sells local produce such as honey, dried long beans, almonds and eggs to customers nationwide.

"Tax and fee cuts will release money to greatly improve the daily production and profit margins of the enterprise," she said.
