At present, the first batch of 30 tax refund shops in Heilongjiang Province are located in shopping malls and commercial streets in the central areas of three pilot cities, including 20 in Harbin, 5 in Heihe and 5 in suifenhe city. Overseas tourists who shop in and leave Heilongjiang Province can realize cross-regional shopping tax refund in Heilongjiang Province, and will realize cross-regional interconnection across the country before the end of the year. Since March this year, in order to promote the implementation of this policy in Heilongjiang Province as soon as possible, according to the requirements of the provincial government, the Provincial Department of Finance has done a lot of preliminary basic work in conjunction with taxation, customs and pilot areas:

At the same time, the work promotion meeting will be held to coordinate and solve the problems existing in the work promotion of departments and pilot areas in a timely manner, speed up the pace of work, improve work efficiency, and ensure the orderly progress of all work.
