Abstract Based on the data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2009 to 2019, this paper examines the impact of digitization of tax collection on the maturity mismatch of enterprises’ investment and financing. The study shows that the digitization of tax collection can alleviate the maturity mismatch of enterprises’ investment and financing. From the perspective of mechanism, the taxation effect of digitalization of tax collection will aggravate the maturity mismatch of investment and financing, but its supervision and governance effect and market optimization effect will ease the maturity mismatch of investment and financing, as a whole, the effect of supervision and market optimization is stronger than that of taxation. In addition, in regions with high levels of digital transactions and fiscal pressure, as well as politically connected enterprises, the digitization of tax collection can better alleviate the maturity mismatch of investment and financing. This study can deepen the government’s understanding of effectively using big data technology to build a standardized government-market relationship and deeply influence micro-enterprise business decisions, and provide theoretical support and practical guidance for high-quality economic development and China’s modernization.
