A large power plant in Nanjing with several water intake points used to spend nearly two hours on each water resource tax filing: pulling intake records from the water authority one by one, checking volumes, then calculating the tax by hand, with mistakes forcing a void and a fresh filing. The tax bureau of the Nanjing Economic and Technological Development Zone and the water authority turned this into an automated scenario, jointly building tax calculation models for surface and underground intake points. When taxpayers log into the e-tax system, intake locations, approved volumes and actual volumes are filled in automatically and the full form is pre-populated, so they only verify and confirm. Filing has shifted from self-reporting to system calculation plus confirmation, freeing time for production and water-saving upgrades and cutting error-driven re-filings.

Nanjing Economic Development Zone Tax Bureau Rolls Out Smart Pre-filling for Water Resource Tax
The tax bureau of Nanjing's Economic and Technological Development Zone has worked with water authorities to build an automated handling scenario for water resource tax, moving declaration toward smart pre-filling and automatic calculation. The two sides jointly built tax calculation models for surface and underground water intake points. When a taxpayer logs into the e-tax system, data including intake location, approved volume and actual intake are filled in automatically for the whole form, leaving only a one-click confirmation. For a large power generator with multiple intake points, filing used to take nearly two hours of checking records and manual calculation, with errors forcing void and re-filing; now verification plus confirmation completes the filing, freeing staff time for production and water-saving upgrades.
