1.Q: Pilot taxpayers of fully digitalized e-invoices still have unused paper invoices and electronic invoices. How should these invoices be handled? How should the tax control equipment be handled? Does it need to be returned?

Answer: If a taxpayer first completes the fully digitalized e-invoice quota and receives invoices, and later deregisters tax control through the remote deregistration function, the relevant invoice quota will be converted into a fully digitalized e-invoice quota. Eligible enterprises may submit a tax control equipment deregistration application through the remote tax control equipment deregistration function. After the system review is passed, the tax control file will be automatically deregistered, and the enterprise shall return the tax control equipment to the tax authority during its existence.

2.Q: How can pilot taxpayers of fully digitalized e-invoices remotely deregister tax control equipment? How exactly is it operated?

Answer: (Taking the Golden Tax Disk as an example) The taxpayer inserts the Golden Tax Disk and logs in online to the VAT Invoice Issuance Software (Golden Tax Disk Version) (hereinafter referred to as the "Invoicing Software"). The system automatically checks whether the taxpayer is qualified for remote deregistration of tax control equipment. If the taxpayer is qualified, the system will push a remote tax control deregistration prompt to the taxpayer. After clicking "Confirm", the system pops up a remote deregistration prompt. The taxpayer clicks the "Confirm" button, and the system automatically performs verification (verifying whether the taxpayer has unuploaded invoices and whether the tax period reporting has not been performed). If the verification passes, a reminder automatically pops up asking whether to confirm enabling the deregistration procedure. If the verification fails, a corresponding prompt automatically pops up. After the taxpayer completes the corresponding business according to the prompt, restarting the invoicing software will allow the remote tax control equipment deregistration operation to be performed again.

After verification is passed, the taxpayer clicks the "Confirm" button, the invoicing software pops up a "Confirm" prompt, and after clicking the "Confirm" button, the invoicing software again initiates a query to the tax bureau to check the qualification for remote cancellation of the Golden Tax device. If qualified, the Golden Tax device is automatically remotely canceled, and after remote cancellation is completed, a prompt message indicating successful remote cancellation pops up. If not qualified, a prompt message specifying the non-qualification is popped up, and the taxpayer can communicate with the competent tax authority to confirm. (If the taxpayer has multiple devices or main/sub-devices, the sub-devices must be remotely canceled one by one before remotely canceling the main device.)

3.Q: When a taxpayer remotely deregisters tax control equipment, the system prompts "The tax control disk version does not support online deregistration. Please go to the tax authority hall for processing." What should be done?

Answer: When remotely deregistering tax control equipment, the system will detect the taxpayer's hardware equipment. If the hardware version is too low, the system will block the deregistration. Taxpayers may try to contact the tax control equipment service provider to upgrade the equipment to solve this problem. If upgrading is truly impossible, taxpayers may also go to the tax service hall to complete deregistration.

4.Q: What are the specific advantages of pilot taxpayers issuing fully digitalized e-invoices compared with invoices issued previously via tax control disks?

Answer: (1) The invoice collection process is more simplified

Seamless connection of "invoice issuance upon opening." Fully digitalized e-invoices achieve "dematerialization," so taxpayers no longer need to obtain dedicated tax control equipment in advance; through the "code assignment system," the application for specific invoice number ranges is eliminated, and after invoice information is generated, the system automatically assigns a unique invoice number; through the "amount authorization system," taxpayers are automatically granted a total issuance amount limit, achieving "zero prerequisites" for invoicing. Based on this, newly established taxpayers can achieve "invoice issuance upon opening."

(2) More convenient invoicing and invoice use

First, invoice issuance channels are more diverse. After all functions of the electronic invoice service platform are launched, taxpayers can issue fully digitalized e-invoices not only through the computer web portal, but also anytime and anywhere through the client and mobile phone app.

Second, the "one-stop" service is more convenient. After taxpayers log in to the electronic invoice service platform, they can carry out a series of operations such as invoice issuance, delivery, verification, and selection, enjoying "one-stop" service without needing to log in to multiple platforms to complete related operations.

Third, invoice data application becomes more extensive. Through "one-household" and "one-person" invoice data aggregation, data linkage across various taxes and fees is strengthened, laying the data foundation for realizing "one-form integrated" tax and fee filing pre-filling services.

Fourth, meeting personalized business needs. Fully digitalized e-invoices break specific format requirements, add XML data message format for convenient delivery, and retain formats such as PDF and OFD, reducing invoice usage costs and enhancing taxpayers' convenience and sense of gain in using invoices. Fully digitalized e-invoice styles are displayed differently according to different businesses, providing taxpayers with higher-quality personalized services.

Fifth, tax service channels are smoother. The electronic invoice service platform provides functions related to taxpayer-authority interaction, such as adding intelligent consultation. During invoice issuance and receipt, the platform automatically receives problems existing in taxpayers' business processing and provides intelligent answers; an objection submission function is added, so that when taxpayers have objections to the total issuance amount quota, they can raise them with tax authorities through the platform.

(3) Integrated recording and archiving

By issuing electronic invoice data specifications and introducing national electronic invoice standards, full-process digital circulation of fully digitalized e-invoices is achieved, further advancing the informatization of accounting and financial management in enterprises and administrative public institutions.

5.Q: When providing construction services across districts within Beijing and issuing a fully digitalized e-invoice, is the cross-region (city) marker required?

Answer: The "cross-region (city) marker" is a required field, and taxpayers must fill it in when issuing construction service invoices.

6.Q: Can blank paper invoices be voided on the e-invoice platform? What is the specific path?

Answer: The electronic invoice platform can void blank invoices.

In the function menu, select [Invoicing Business] - [Paper Invoice Business] - [Paper Invoice Voiding] in sequence to enter the paper invoice voiding page, select the "Blank Invoice Voiding" tab, in the invoice type drop-down list, filter blank paper invoices by type, click the [Query] button, check the blank invoices to be voided, click "Invoice Voiding", the invoice voiding page pops up, fill in the number of copies to be voided, click the [Confirm] button, and the "Invoice voiding executed successfully" prompt box pops up.

7.Q: What is the total invoice quota in the tax digital account?

Answer: The total issuance amount quota, also called the total monthly invoice quota, refers to the upper limit of the total invoice issuance amount (excluding VAT) of pilot taxpayers within one calendar month, including the upper limit total amount of fully digitalized e-invoices, VAT paper special invoices (hereinafter referred to as paper special invoices), and VAT paper ordinary invoices (folded tickets, hereinafter referred to as paper ordinary invoices) that pilot taxpayers can issue through the electronic invoice service platform, as well as the upper limit total amount of paper special invoices, paper ordinary invoices, VAT ordinary invoices (roll type), VAT electronic special invoices, and VAT electronic ordinary invoices that can be issued through the VAT invoice management system.
