For a fully digitalized e-invoice issued by the enterprise this month that the counterparty has not yet selected, how is a red-letter invoice issued?

More and more taxpayers are being successfully included in the fully digitalized e-invoice pilot. While benefiting taxpayers, fully digitalized e-invoices have achieved red-letter invoice issuance upon confirmation. See the specific operation process below.

Q：When an enterprise is included in the fully digitalized e-invoice pilot, issuing blue-letter fully digitalized e-invoices is very convenient, but is issuing red-letter fully digitalized e-invoices a bit troublesome?？

A：Very simply, enterprises included in the fully digitalized e-invoice pilot that issue red-letter fully digitalized e-invoices can already issue upon confirmation.

Q：For example, if the other party has not yet selected and confirmed the fully digitalized e-invoice we issued this month, how do we issue a red-letter invoice?

A：If the fully digitalized e-invoice you issued has not yet been selected by the counterparty, simply find the corresponding blue invoice for which a red-letter invoice needs to be issued, select the fully digitalized e-invoice type and the reason for issuing the red-letter invoice, then submit and confirm to successfully issue the invoice.

The specific process is as follows:

1.First log in to the electronic tax bureau, and choose one of the methods to verify successful login.

2.Select [I Want to Handle Taxes], click [Invoicing Business], and then select [Red-Letter Invoice Issuance].

3.On the common functions page for red-letter invoice business, click [Red-Letter Invoice Confirmation Information Entry] and select the fully digitalized e-invoice information corresponding to the red-letter invoice to be issued.

4.Confirm the selected invoice information, including basic information, fully digitalized e-invoice type, and reason for issuing a red-letter invoice, then click submit and confirm.

5.The red-letter invoice is issued successfully, enabling issuance upon confirmation.

Q：It is really convenient! But if the other party has already selected the fully digitalized e-invoice, will issuing a red-letter invoice be a bit troublesome?

A：No trouble. For enterprises included in the fully digitalized e-invoice pilot issuing red-letter invoices, for invoices already selected, either party can fill out and upload the Red-Letter Invoice Information Confirmation Form, which requires confirmation by the other party, but once confirmed, the invoice is automatically issued successfully. Taking the seller applying for the Red-Letter Invoice Information Confirmation Form as an example, the specific process is as follows:

I. Seller

1. First log in to the electronic tax bureau, and choose one of the methods to verify and log in successfully.

2. Select [I Want to Handle Taxes], click [Invoicing Business], and then select [Red-Letter Invoice Issuance].

3. On the common function page for red-letter invoice business, click [Red-Letter Invoice Confirmation Information Entry] and select the fully digitalized e-invoice information corresponding to the red-letter invoice to be issued.

4. Confirm the selected invoice information, including basic information, fully digitalized e-invoice type, and reason for issuing a red-letter invoice, click Submit and confirm. The system will then send the red-letter invoice information confirmation form to the other party and wait for their confirmation.

II. Purchaser

1. The previous steps are the same: log in to the Electronic Tax Bureau — Home — [I Want to Handle Taxes] — [Invoicing Business] — [Red-Letter Invoice Issuance] — [Red-Letter Invoice Confirmation Information Processing], select the purchaser information, invoicing time, and other information, then click Query.

2. In [Red-Letter Invoice Confirmation Information], select the invoice for which you agree to confirm the red-letter reversal, click View, and after confirming it is correct, click Confirm.

3. After confirming there are no errors, confirmation success is displayed, under [Tax Digital Account] - [Invoice queryStatistics】——【Full invoice query】, we can see the red-letter invoice that has been successfully issued. Confirmation means invoicing is complete, and the other party does not need to perform any further operations.

Warm reminder

The confirm-and-invoice function currently applies only to fully digitalized e-invoices; when using fully digitalized paper invoices to reverse fully digitalized paper invoices, a red-letter invoice must still be issued manually.
