Introduction to Fully Digital Electronic Invoices (Digital Invoices)
-
Digital invoices are fully digital electronic invoices with the same legal effect and basic usage as existing paper invoices.
- "VAT special invoice" digital invoices have the same legal effect and basic usage as current VAT special invoices.
- "Ordinary invoice" digital invoices have the same legal effect and basic usage as existing electronic ordinary invoices.
-
Starting from August 28, 2022, all customers in mainland China can receive digital invoices, and they support normal reimbursement and accounting usage.
-
Digital invoices do not have copies, and basic information includes:
- Invoice number, issuance date, buyer and seller information, project name, model, unit, quantity, unit price, amount, tax rate, tax amount, total amount, tax-inclusive total, remarks, and issuer information.
-
Formats:
- A: Digital VAT special invoice format.
- B: Digital ordinary invoice format.
-
Digital invoices (ordinary and VAT special) have the same format and do not require mailing. They support automatic and self-service centralized invoicing. Refer to the "How to Obtain the Invoice" section for details.
-
If you need a paper invoice, you can print the digital invoice as a tax receipt. There's no need to affix an official stamp on the printed paper version, but you must retain the digital file (XML data) of the digital invoice.
-
Digital invoices do not support issuing paper versions of ordinary and VAT special invoices but do support red-letter issuance.
Red-Letter Invoice Issuance
If the issued invoice has an error or needs to be red-lettered (e.g., for returns, service suspension, or sales discounts), the following applies:
- If the recipient has not confirmed the purpose or accounting, the issuer will issue a red-letter invoice after filling out the "Red-letter Invoice Information Confirmation Form" without requiring confirmation from the recipient.
- If the recipient has confirmed the purpose or accounting, both the issuer and recipient must fill out the "Confirmation Form." After mutual confirmation (within 72 hours), the issuer will issue the red-letter invoice according to the form.
