Since China rolled out the refund-upon-purchase service under its departure tax refund policy, Changzhou has consistently enhanced related services to boost inbound tourism consumption.

The city now features 33 designated tax refund stores and 44 refund points, covering all its administrative districts. Total eligible purchases have reached 870,400 yuan, with refunds issued for 108,300 yuan.

The refund-upon-purchase service allows eligible tourists to receive tax refunds immediately at designated stores instead of waiting until departure. This improvement not only streamlines the refund process but also encourages additional spending.

Changzhou's tax refund stores include shopping malls, cultural venues, major tourist attractions, and star-rated hotels, offering international brands, creative cultural products, souvenirs, and local specialties to meet diverse needs.

To help more businesses join the tax refund network, the Changzhou Municipal Tax Service provides one-on-one guidance and operational support for registration. The tax authority also collaborates with transport and tourism departments to promote awareness by placing ads at airports, land ports, tax refund stores, metro and bus routes, and popular scenic spots.
