Abstract: The arrival of big data era has brought about plenty of difficulties and challenges for tax collection and management, but it also provides hardwon opportunities for the upgrading and transformation of tax collection and management model. By making full use of big data and modern information technology, the enhancement of tax-related data collection, and the improvement of analysis and application abilities, it would be conducive to turning the big data advantage in governmental and social departments into tax governance preponderance. And by so doing, we can build a risk-oriented tax collection and management information platform with integrated computer processing and manual handling and data comparison at its core. By basing on big tax data, we can deal with information asymmetry between tax collectors and tax payers, with the emphasis focused on tax-related information collection, analysis and utilization. The risk-oriented information platform based on big data reflects the necessity to push forward the modernization of tax collection and management through IT application. It is an inevitable choice to solve the problem of information asymmetry between tax collectors and tax payers, to increase the level of tax compliance and tax revenue, and to comprehensively enhance the quality of tax collection and management.
