"Help! How do I get my tax record?!"
Cassie, a foreign professional in Shenzhen, was nearly in a panic trying to print her tax payment records for a visa application. Due to little knowledge in Chinese, she felt completely lost.
Just in time, an English-speaking tax officer appeared: "Don't panic, handling taxes in Shenzhen is so easy! Come on, let me handle it for you!"

"I can't believe how straightforward it is! Now I can go shopping for my family!" Cassie cheered.
“没想到这么简单！现在我终于可以去给家人买礼物了！”Cassie开心地竖起了大拇指。
"Wow! I can get a departure tax refund when I shop here, with a 9% discount!" Cassie discovered while browsing MixC Shenzhen Bay.
The streamlined process needs only four items: passport, tax refund form, shopping invoices, and credit card.
"The staff at the departure tax refund counter will place a pre‑authorization on your credit card. When you pass through the port of departure, present your documents to customs for inspection. After verification, the pre‑authorizationwill be released," explained a multilingual tax officer at the counter.
Cassie's refund was processed in just ten minutes. "All done in ten minutes! Shenzhen's tax service is amazing!" she exclaimed.
