Dear members,
The European Chamber is pleased to invite you to the Finance & Taxation Working Group meeting “Digitalize Your Business in China: Roll out of e-invoice system in China”, which is taking place on 14:30-16:00 Thursday, 20th October2022, online.
Fully digitalized e-fapiao is a completely new type of electronic invoice, which is different from the previously introduced normal value-added tax (VAT) e-fapiao and the traditional paper fapiao, but has the same legal effect. The pilot program of fully digitalized e-fapiao kicked off on December 1, 2021, whereby selected taxpayers in Shanghai, Guangdong (Guangzhou, Foshan, Guangdong-Macao Intensive Cooperation Zone), and Inner Mongolia (Hohhot) started to issue and accept fully digitalized e-fapiao. In 2022, the pilot program of fully digitalized e-fapiao was further expanded, with a broader scope of taxpayers being able to issue and accept fully digitalized e-fapiao.
Under the fully digitalized e-fapiao programs, a national unified e-invoicing service platform is targeted to be built to provide taxpayers 24-hour online services to issue, deliver, and verify fully digitalized e-fapiao free of charge. Following the introduction of the normal VAT e-fapiao and the construction of the Golden Tax System Phase IV, the fully digitalized e-fapiao marks the latest effort by the Chinese government to promote the digital upgradation and intelligent transformation of tax collection and administration and reduce the cost of tax management.
