Related sources said with China's stock market getting bullish last year, stock trading volume increased sharply, resulting in the robust growth of stock trading stamp tax revenue.

Last year, the total number of listed companies on Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets topped 1050; total stock market value for the first time accounted for over 50 percent of GDP; investors opened more than 56 million accounts.
