Tired of checking business registration information one by one for reverse invoicing until you collapse? Kailing Technology's natural person identity verification interface uses authoritative business registration data to batch-screen legal representatives, directors, supervisors, and senior managers

The seller in reverse invoicing, that is, the seller, must be a "pure individual"—legal representatives, directors, supervisors, senior executives, and others already registered as enterprise entities cannot serve as individual sellers in reverse invoicing. In reality, however, scrap recycling stations and agricultural product purchasing enterprises often handle tens of thousands of transactions a year, and manually checking identities one by one on Qichacha or Tianyancha is too tiring and too slow; cases are common in which, after invoicing, a tax bureau audit finds the counterparty is the legal representative of some company, resulting in millions of reverse invoices being voided plus back taxes and fines. Kailing Technology's individual identity verification capability makes this "identity gate" before invoicing a standard system feature—connecting to authoritative business registration data sources, supporting batch screening, automatically intercepting legal representatives, directors, supervisors, and senior executives, and leaving traces for evidence.

▍1. Why must reverse invoicing first check "whether it is a pure natural person"?

Announcement No. 5 of 2024 of the State Taxation Administration clarifies that resource recycling enterprises may reverse invoice natural person sellers, solving the long-standing difficulty of individual sellers having no invoices from the source; Announcement No. 12 of 2026, to take effect on July 1, 2026, further reduces the burden on natural person sellers — for the portion of annual sales (excluding VAT) ≤ 600,000 yuan, the prepaid individual income tax is reduced to 0.25%. The policy opening is widening, but one threshold has never loosened: the object of reverse invoicing must be a "natural person seller."

The "natural person" in policy terms is not simply someone whose ID card says "citizen"—there are clear exclusions:

• The legal representative cannot: The legal representative of a certain company sells scrap steel to a recycling enterprise in a personal capacity. If the enterprise issues a reverse invoice to him, inspectors will determine it to be invoice issuance for individuals by another route and suspected of assisting tax evasion.
• Directors, supervisors, and senior management not allowed: Such persons are already registered as core members of an enterprise entity, and their “individual” identity is closely associated with the enterprise they belong to; reverse invoicing is suspected of bypassing enterprise invoicing.
• Registered individual industrial and commercial households cannot: Individual businesses are business entities with invoicing capability and should themselves issue forward invoices rather than reverse ones.
• Other related entities: For example, actual controllers, natural person shareholders holding equity in multiple companies, etc., also require case-by-case prudence in practice.

If identity screening is not done before invoicing, the worst result is not simply "issuing the wrong invoice"—but rather: the input VAT invoice is deemed non-compliant → full transfer-out → back taxes plus late fees → depending on the circumstances, suspected of assisting tax evasion and subject to fines. With millions of yuan in reverse invoices a year, once you hit a landmine, the cost is far higher than making the "identity gate" solid.

▍II. Relying on manual checks one by one on Qichacha? Three real pain points

The problem is not that enterprises do not know they need to check, but whether they can afford to check. Take a medium-sized renewable resource recycling enterprise as an example:

• Volume too large: With tens of thousands of individual seller procurement transactions a year, a person can manually check at most one or two hundred records a day. Even assigning several dedicated staff cannot keep up with the receiving pace.
• Incomplete investigation: Checking only the authenticity of the ID card is not enough; it is also necessary to conduct a penetrating check of whether the person is the legal representative / director or supervisor / registered individual industrial and commercial household of a certain company—this information is scattered across multiple data sources such as industrial and commercial registration, tax registration, and credit publicity.
• No trace left: An Excel note saying "so-and-so has checked" cannot produce a traceable evidence chain when an audit comes; even if it was checked, it cannot prove it was checked "at the time of invoicing."

Not to mention that manual checking is also prone to omissions, errors, and delays—forget one item today when busy, and the invoice may already have been issued tomorrow, making later remediation too late.

▍III. Kailing individual identity verification: one-click screening before invoicing, automatic interception of legal representatives, directors, and supervisors

In the reverse invoicing system, Kailing has made "identity verification" a mandatory checkpoint before invoicing. It is not an isolated query tool, but a "compliance gatekeeper" deeply embedded in the reverse invoicing workflow. Core capabilities are as follows:

1. Connected to authoritative business registration data sources for penetrating identity verification

The system directly connects to authoritative data sources such as the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System. By entering an ID number + name, it can conduct a penetrating query to check whether this individual is registered nationwide as:

• The legal representative / director / supervisor / senior manager of any company;
• The operator of any individual industrial and commercial household;
• The major shareholder / actual controller of any enterprise.

Query results are returned in seconds, not superficial verification like "checking whether an ID card is real", but pulling together all key information directly related to "whether it can be a reverse invoicing target".

2. Intercept upon match, allowing what can be issued to be issued with confidence and blocking in advance what cannot be issued

Kailing solidifies policy criteria into system rules: once a verification result hits exclusion items such as "legal representative / director or senior manager / registered sole proprietor," the system automatically blocks it and does not allow reverse invoicing to be initiated—the salesperson will see a clear prompt on the goods order page: "This entity does not meet the conditions for an individual seller; please verify."

In this way, risks are blocked before invoicing, rather than regretted only when the tax bureau conducts an inspection. Those that can be issued are normally released, and those that cannot be issued are automatically blocked; the rules do not rely on people remembering them or on people’s self-discipline.

3. Support batch screening, processing thousands of records at once

For scenarios such as scrap recycling stations and agricultural product procurement platforms with "large numbers of individual sellers and high frequency," Kailing provides two verification modes:

• Real-time verification per transaction: For first-time cooperation with a new individual seller, verification is triggered in real time during the onboarding process;
• Bulk screening: Upload hundreds or thousands of pending invoice records at once, and the system returns in batches the verification result for each record + whether invoicing is possible + the reason hit, so finance can see at a glance which can be invoiced and which need review.

From "checking two hundred items a day" to "processing several thousand at once," efficiency isn't improved just a little—it's an order-of-magnitude difference.

4. Full trace retention of verification tracks, enabling evidence provision when inspections come

For every verification, the system automatically records: who was checked, when it was checked, what was hit, and what action the invoicing clerk took—this information, together with goods notes, contracts, invoices, and payment vouchers, is stored in the "five flows in one archive" for reverse invoicing.

When an audit comes, enterprises no longer rely on the verbal explanation of "I remember checking it" but can retrieve files showing the complete identity verification trail behind every invoice issued—moving from procedural compliance to evidence compliance.

▍IV. After going live, how will compliance work for procurement business change?

After turning identity verification from "manual side job" into "system standard":

• Faster: Bulk screening of thousands of names, compressed from days to minutes, so receiving schedules are no longer dragged down by compliance work.
• More accurate: Connect to authoritative business registration data for penetrating verification. Legal representatives, directors, supervisors, senior managers, and registered individual businesses are automatically identified and matched. Relying solely on personal experience and guesswork is no longer the only option.
• More worry-free: Block on hit and invoice on release, with rules built into the workflow so sales staff do not have to memorize policy clauses.
• More compliant: Every verification leaves a trace, every invoice has an identity file, and a complete evidence chain can be presented when an audit retrieves the file.

For enterprise leaders, the most tangible change is that they dare to issue reverse invoices, dare to scale up, and dare to face every inquiry from the tax bureau.
