More enterprises are returning to work amid the issuance of the "white list" of companies to resume production.

In the process of resumption, some enterprises have encountered problems so Jiading tax bureau quickly opened the green channel for them and solved the problems one by one.

Jiading-based Stiehl Industry (Shanghai) Co Ltd encountered difficulties in preparing to apply for resumption of work and production procedures.

The registration of Stiehl was halfway when Puxi area went into lockdown on April 1.

The resumption of work is imminent, but the formalities of tax entry and purchase of invoices had not been completed.

"If this procedure cannot be completed, it means that invoices cannot be issued to customers and normal business transactions cannot be carried out," said Wu Min, financial director of Stiehl.

In order to ensure the resumption of work, Jiading taxation bureau decided to open a green channel for Stiehl.

The first tax office of the Jiading tax bureau accepted the business, and the administrative service center completed the relocation and change of registration of the enterprise.

"From contacting the tax office to completing the whole business process, it only took less than half a day to solve the urgent needs of our company," Wu said excitedly.
