Tax compliance for flexible employment of food delivery riders: Kailing's invoice issuance for individuals platform solves the challenge of invoice issuance for crowdsourced salaries

In recent years, food delivery platforms have expanded rapidly relying on the crowdsourcing model, with millions of riders participating in delivery services as natural persons. However, with the upgrade of China Golden Tax Phase IV supervision and the tightening of policies such as social security included in tax collection, enterprises face severe tax compliance challenges:

1. Difficult invoice acquisition: riders, as natural persons, cannot directly issue invoices, and enterprise expenditures lack legal pre-tax deduction vouchers, sharply increasing tax risks;

2. High-frequency payment pressure: In daily settlement and weekly settlement payroll scenarios, small-amount high-frequency payments require tax payment transaction by transaction, and traditional manual filing is inefficient and error-prone;

3. Regional policy differences: Riders are distributed nationwide, and tax requirements vary across regions, making standardized management difficult for enterprises.

Risks and pain points of the traditional payroll agency payment model

In the past, some enterprises avoided tax issues through "white slip bookkeeping" or third-party payment on behalf, but such methods are now strictly regulated by the China Golden Tax Phase IV system, and the risks are fully exposed:

▪ Compliance risk: missing invoices prevent corporate income tax deduction, potentially leading to back taxes, late fees, or even administrative penalties;

▪ High management costs: Enterprises need to guide riders one by one to issue invoices offline, with cumbersome processes, long cycles, and low rider cooperation;

▪ Complex tax accounting: multi-location filing and manual tax calculation are error-prone, placing a heavy burden on enterprise finance and tax departments.
