Answer
Q: What is a combined property and conduct tax return?
A: When filing multiple property and conduct tax returns, taxpayers no longer use separate tax returns, but file multiple tax returns simultaneously on one tax return.

The scope of taxes for combined property and behavior tax returns includes 10 taxes, including urban land use tax, property tax, vehicle and vessel tax, stamp duty, arable land occupation tax, resource tax, land value- added tax, deed tax, environmental protection tax and tobacco tax.

A:
When declaring VAT and consumption tax, taxpayers should also declare additional taxes and fees such as city maintenance and construction tax, education surcharge and local education surcharge.
