Large input VAT invoice gap for waste paper and waste plastic recycling enterprises? Kailing Technology five-flow integration reverse invoicing platform makes the entire process from filing to payment online and traceable

Published: 2026-06-08 15:30

I. Reverse invoicing solves "who issues it," but not "how to prove it"

After the implementation of Announcement No. 5 of 2024 of the State Taxation Administration, resource recycling enterprises may issue purchase invoices under reverse invoicing to individual small sellers. The policy provides the path, but walking this path has prerequisites:Behind every reverse invoice, there must be authentic, complete, and verifiable transaction evidence.

The regulatory logic of China Golden Tax Phase IV is not "as long as you issue an invoice, it's fine," but "you must prove that this transaction actually occurred." Specifically, tax authorities will conduct penetrating comparisons:

Who is the invoicing target? Is their identity compliant?

Where did the goods come from? Is there any logistics or on-site record?

How much was weighed? Does it match the invoice amount?

Who was the money paid to? Is it the same person as the invoicing counterparty?

Has a acquisition agreement been signed?

If an enterprise only centrally issues a batch of invoices at month-end but cannot produce the corresponding business records, these invoices are little different from "not issued" in the face of an audit—and may even be more dangerous, because they may be deemed false invoicing.

So the real solution is not "being able to issue an invoice", but "every transaction automatically forming a complete evidence chain from the moment it occurs".

II. Kailing Technology full-process reverse invoicing system: letting compliance happen naturally in transactions

The design starting point of Kailing Technology's five-flow-in-one reverse invoicing platform is very pragmatic:It does not add burden to the business front line, but lets every action automatically leave a trace.

The five flows — contract flow, business flow, logistics flow, tax flow, and fund flow — are not materials supplemented afterward, but natural products embedded in daily actions such as receiving goods, inspecting goods, settlement, invoicing, and payment.

Individual supplier file creation: manage identity before the first truck of goods arrives

At first delivery, individual suppliers complete real-name file creation via on-site terminal or mobile phone: facial scan authentication, ID card collection, bank card binding, and signing of the electronic procurement agreement and reverse invoicing authorization letter.

The system simultaneously verifies: the person is not a corporate legal representative, director, supervisor, senior manager, or sole proprietor, and the cumulative annual invoicing amount has not exceeded 5 million. Non-compliant persons are blocked at the filing stage and cannot enter subsequent processes at all.

File creation is completed once, and each subsequent delivery is directly reused. Individual sellers can get it done in the few minutes while waiting for weighing, without slowing down the on-site pace.

Goods receipt and inspection: data enters the system at the same time as weighing

After individual suppliers deliver on site, the on-site operator completes a few simple actions in the system: select the individual supplier (already filed, drop-down selection), enter category and weight (supports direct connection to the electronic weighbridge system), and take photos of the vehicle and goods.

For waste paper recycling, it may be necessary to distinguish categories such as yellow board paper, book/newspaper paper, and mixed paper; the system supports configuration according to the enterprise's own classification standards. For waste plastics, it may be necessary to distinguish materials such as PP, PE, and PET and color grades.

These data automatically form a goods receipt, bound together with the individual seller's identity and contract number for this transaction. From "vehicle entry" to "data storage," on-site additional operations take no more than two minutes.

Goods receipt and inspection: data enters the system at the same time as weighing

Instant invoicing: automatically triggered by the system after settlement confirmation

After the goods receipt note is formed and the settlement amount is confirmed, the system automatically enters the reverse invoicing process:

Verify the retail investor's annual balance of 5 million

Call the electronic tax bureau interface to issue fully digitalized e-invoices tagged "scrap product purchase" in login-free mode

Automatically calculate taxes and withhold (VAT 1% + surcharges + individual income tax 0.5% prepayment)

Automatic archiving of invoice PDF/OFD/XML source files

Finance does not need centralized supplementary invoicing at month-end and does not need to manually log in to the electronic tax bureau. Each transaction is received, invoiced, and closed on the same day.

Instant invoicing: automatically triggered by the system after settlement confirmation

Payment closed loop: the destination of funds strictly matches the invoicing object

After invoicing is completed, the system triggers the payment process. It supports automatic transfer via bank-enterprise direct connection (payment directly to the individual's own bank card) as well as uploading receipts after offline payment.

The key point lies in:The payment account is the individual's own bank card bound when the retail customer file is created, strictly consistent with the invoicing counterparty, contract signatory, and deliverer. There is no situation where "the goods were delivered by Zhang San but the payment was made to Li Si".

Bank receipts are automatically returned and linked to that transaction, completing the fund flow loop.

Payment closed loop: the destination of funds strictly matches the invoicing object

Five-flow archiving: one-click retrieval of the complete evidence package

After each transaction is completed, the system automatically collects the following materials under the same archive:

Electronic purchase agreement + reverse invoicing authorization letter

Individual supplier identity information + identity verification records

Goods receipt note (category, weight, photos, vehicle information)

Source files of fully digitalized e-invoices

Bank transfer receipt

Supports multi-dimensional retrieval by individual name, time period, amount range, category, and more. When tax authorities conduct joint investigations, export a complete evidence package with one click, without finance needing to spend three days digging through various systems to piece together materials.

III. Actual changes for waste paper and waste plastic recycling enterprises

Input gap closed. Each acquisition has a corresponding reverse invoice, VAT can be deducted, costs can be listed, and the tax burden returns to a reasonable industry level.

Cash transactions exit the stage. After individual suppliers bind bank cards, payment is directly deposited to the card, eliminating the untraceability of cash transactions. For enterprises, this both reduces on-site management risks and makes bank statements clean and auditable.

Finance changes from "supplementing invoices" to "managing data." No longer needing to centrally process backlogged documents at month-end. Daily work becomes monitoring anomalies on the system dashboard, analyzing cost structures, and optimizing procurement strategies.

Withstands scrutiny. The five-flow data is aligned transaction by transaction and mutually corroborates one another. It is not "compliance material" fabricated after the fact, but real records naturally deposited during business operations.

Transactions in the waste paper and waste plastic recycling industry are real; what was missing in the past was a way for that "reality" to be recorded, proven, and recognized by tax authorities.

The reverse invoicing policy provides an institutional outlet, and the Kailing Technology five-flow-in-one platform provides technical implementation. Combined, enterprises do not need to change their business rhythm or add extra staff; they only need the system to automatically run the five flows through in each transaction—and the input VAT gap is no longer a problem.
