In line with Project requirements and recent revisions to the law, the “Water Pollution Control Fee Online Declaration and Inquiry System” was updated and expanded; this included posting the latest announcements and news on the website, making additional files available for downloading, the establishment of a new, dedicated section for livestock farmers, the addition of a fee declaration function for livestock farmers, the provision of new consulting and guidance functions, and the addition of a user satisfaction survey, as well as links to information regarding periodic inspections and auditing. A number of suggestions for revision of the fee collection system were formulated on the basis of the actual declaration and examination implementation status. In addition, a total of 15 presentations were held to explain the operation of water pollution control fee collection for livestock farmers, and 4 new dedicated inquiry hotlines were established to provide timely consulting services to firms that are liable for collection of water pollution control fees, so as to reduce the incidence of declaration errors.
