China Advances Tax-Bank Integration with Blockchain

China’s State Taxation Administration and National Financial Regulatory Administration instructed banks and local authorities to upgrade the bank-tax interaction model using blockchain and privacy computing technologies, and to provide financing to small businesses. The joint policy statement emphasized standardizing data sharing between banks and taxpayers, reducing information asymmetry. Banks should improve credit models to accelerate approval processes and increase financing for honest tax-paying businesses.

China’s Blockchain Tax-Bank Policy Details

This policy promotes tax compliance while increasing financial access. Blockchain’s immutable records integrate tax declarations into bank credit scores, preventing fraud. Privacy computing (e.g., zero-knowledge proofs) enables analysis without sharing sensitive data.

Privacy Computing Technology: Technical Analysis

Privacy computing processes data in encrypted form using tools like homomorphic encryption and ZK-SNARKs. This allows banks to view tax history while protecting taxpayer privacy. Experts predict this integration could accelerate credit approvals by 30-50%, reducing information asymmetry by 40%.

National Blockchain Roadmap and Investments

This directive aligns with China’s strategy to integrate blockchain into data infrastructure; the National Development and Reform Commission published a roadmap in January 2025 targeting national implementation by 2029. National Data Administration Vice President Shen Zhulin stated they expect blockchain-based infrastructure to attract 400 billion yuan (approximately 58 billion USD) in investment annually.
