   Golden Tax Project Operational in Four Cities and Five Provinces
   The State Council has decided that as of January 1, the authentication,
   auditing and checking information management systems, as an important
   component of China's Golden Tax Project, were the first to be launched
   in four cities and five provinces (Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and
   Chongqing municipalities; and Liaoning, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and
   Guangdong provinces) on January 1, 2001.
   These systems will also be put into operation in 22 other provinces
   beginning from July 1,2001. By then, the auditing and checking systems
   will cover tax authorities at all levels nationwide through the
   Internet, and a nationwide value-added tax (VAT) monitoring system will
   be established across the country.
   It is reported that the Golden Tax Project, established in line with
   the idea of "science and technology plus management" according to the
   instructions of State Council leaders and in light of China's present
   economic situation, is a VAT monitoring management system with Chinese
   characteristics....By the end of 2002, China will have introduced the
   anti-counterfeit and invoice-related tax control system to ordinary
   value-added tax payers.
   Sources say that the completion of the project on time and up to
   required quality will play a significant role in preventing, checking
   and prosecuting tax evasion and fraud activities carried out by making
   use of the special value-added-tax invoices, and reducing losses of tax
   money; it is also of importance to supervising and controlling the
   taxpayers' activities of production and operation and change of their
   tax funds;
