(VII) Improve Implementation and Supervision Systems. A unified and standardized management system for the trade-in of consumer goods should be established, and detailed rules should be improved for the entire chain, including dynamic management of the list of business entities, product sales price filing, subsidy eligibility disbursement, and fund verification and payment. A subsidy pre-allocation system should be established, allocating funds to enterprises or payment platforms based on their sales and advance payments to alleviate their financial burden. The subsidy eligibility disbursement, document uploading, and review processes should be simplified, with clear payment deadlines. Multi-departmental joint review and approval should be implemented to reduce redundant reporting and unnecessary steps. Cross-departmental data sharing should be strengthened, promoting cross-verification of key data among departments such as commerce, transportation, agriculture and rural affairs, finance, public security, taxation, and industry and information technology. Online and offline sales channels should be streamlined, with increased support for offline physical retail to improve consumer convenience in rural areas. Illegal and irregular activities such as subsidy fraud, price gouging followed by subsidies, and scalping should be severely punished; those suspected of crimes should be transferred to judicial organs for strict investigation and prosecution. Consumer complaint channels should be streamlined, and information on subsidy use and the handling of violations should be regularly summarized and published through third-party service platforms to improve policy implementation transparency. (The Provincial Department of Commerce, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Provincial Department of Finance, the Provincial Department of Transportation, the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Provincial Administration for Market Regulation, the Provincial Public Security Department, the Provincial Taxation Bureau, and the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology are responsible according to their respective duties.)

(VIII) Strengthen the Use and Management of Funds. Supervision of the entire process of subsidy review and fund disbursement must be strengthened. The centralized treasury payment system must be strictly implemented, and the red lines for fund use must be strictly adhered to. False listing of expenditures, false reporting of expenditures, and using appropriations in lieu of disbursement are strictly prohibited. Large-scale non-disbursement of subsidies is strictly prohibited. For any violations of the above requirements or financial regulations, illegally disbursed subsidies must be promptly recovered, and relevant personnel must be held accountable according to law and regulations. A smooth and orderly transition of the consumer goods trade-in subsidy policy across fiscal years must be ensured, and the settlement of 2025 subsidy funds must be completed in a timely manner. Any unused consumer goods trade-in funds allocated by each city by December 31, 2026, will be recovered by the central government.
