Remit files

After the tax reimbursement company pays Alipay, the payment information and corresponding paid account statement information will be sent to Alipay. The tax reimbursement company must then upload the remittance files to Alipay's SFTP server. Alipay will obtain the latest files from SFTP server regularly for parsing and upload the parsing results to SFTP server. Alipay will inform the tax reimbursement company of the treatment results at the same time.
