What are the advantages of using fully digitalized e-invoices?

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 "credit 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."

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

Second, invoice services are more convenient through "one-stop" service. 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 purpose selection, enjoying "one-stop" service, and no longer need to log in to multiple platforms as before 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, "de-formatting" meets personalized business needs. Fully digitalized e-invoices can be delivered in data message form, breaking specific format requirements 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.

First, by issuing electronic invoice data specifications and introducing national standards for electronic invoices, realize full-process digital circulation of fully digitalized e-invoices, and further advance the informatization of accounting and financial management in enterprises and administrative public institutions.

Second, publish electronic invoice data specifications and interface standards, open the electronic invoice service platform interface scheme, and encourage enterprises with larger scale and higher levels of informatization to transform ERP and other financial software for direct connection, realizing integrated operations of invoice reimbursement, accounting, and archiving.
