Leqi Direct Connection access conditions? Kailing Technology provides in-depth, professional interpretation of the Leqi difficulties and doubts troubling enterprises

Against the backdrop of China Golden Tax Phase IV and the era of fully digitalized e-invoices, tax digital management transformation has become an inevitable path for enterprises. As an important platform launched by the State Taxation Administration to achieve direct connection between the tax system and enterprises' own information systems and provide enterprises with fully digitalized e-invoices and other tax-related services, the Leqi platform has attracted widespread attention from enterprises. However, when facing Leqi Direct Connection access, enterprises often have many questions and concerns. Today, Kailing Technology will provide an in-depth analysis of the conditions for Leqi Direct Connection access and the difficult and doubtful points that trouble enterprises.

I. Interpretation of Leqi Direct Connection access conditions

(1) Basic conditions

1. Tax credit conditions:The direct connection entity and its filed user entities must have a tax credit rating of A or B in the previous year, with no major tax violations in the past 3 years and no major tax-related public opinion incidents. Good tax credit is not only the cornerstone of enterprise tax management but also one of the key considerations for tax authorities in reviewing direct connection access. This reflects the tax authorities' strict requirements for enterprise tax compliance; only enterprises that steadily maintain a high tax credit level are eligible to enjoy the convenient services brought by Leqi Direct Connection.

2. Operating revenue conditions:The direct connection entity and its filed user entities have a total operating revenue of over 50 million yuan in the previous year. This condition restricts from the perspective of enterprise operating scale, ensuring that enterprises accessing the Leqi Platform have certain economic strength and business activity, can effectively utilize the tax-related service functions of the Leqi Platform, promote the standardized development of their own business, and also provide a relatively stable foundation for tax authorities' tax collection and management work.

3. Time + invoice volume conditions:In the 12 months before the direct connection entity and its filed user entities apply for access, the cumulative invoice issuance and receipt volume must be no less than 10,000 invoices. This requirement focuses on the enterprise's daily invoice business volume. As important vouchers of enterprise economic activities, a higher invoice volume means a higher frequency of transactions. After accessing the Leqi Platform, digital invoice management can be better achieved, improving enterprise tax work efficiency and also helping tax authorities centrally manage enterprise tax data.

4. Time + amount conditions:In the 12 months before the direct connection entity and its filed user entities apply for access, the cumulative invoicing amount must be no less than 100 million yuan. This supplementary condition further comprehensively considers the enterprise's business scale and transaction amount, providing another way to meet access conditions for enterprises with fewer invoices but larger single transaction amounts, enabling more different types of enterprises to have the opportunity to be included in the Leqi Platform service system, fully reflecting the flexibility and inclusiveness of the Leqi policy.

（Specific details are subject to notices from each province; old version requirements:The combined invoice issuance volume and invoice receipt volume of this enterprise and enterprises simultaneously requesting to become its user units in the 12 months prior to the month of initiating the access request is no less than 50,000 invoices, or the combined invoice issuance and receipt volume is less than 50,000 invoices but the invoiced amount is no less than RMB 500 million.)

5. Cooperate with tax authorities in providing materials:The direct connection entity shall provide relevant tax-related data of the direct connection entity and user entities as required by tax authorities, including but not limited to the operator identity, operating income, goods flow, and capital flow of user entities. This indicates that enterprises must have good data collection, organization, and reporting capabilities in tax management and actively cooperate with tax authorities' regulatory work. This is the basic prerequisite for Leqi Direct Connection access, helping tax authorities fully understand enterprises' operating conditions and tax risk situations, and providing precise tax services and management for enterprises.

(II) Special Approval for Special Industries

For industries safeguarding people's livelihood such as hospitals, education, water, gas, heat and electricity, and public transportation, as well as large state-owned enterprises, public institutions and enterprises, and industry associations applying to connect to the Leqi platform, the Beijing Municipal Tax Service, State Taxation Administration may adjust access conditions according to specific circumstances. This policy tilt fully takes into account the particularity of livelihood-guarantee industries and specific types of units. These units play an indispensable role in social and economic development. Although their operating characteristics may differ from ordinary commercial enterprises, connecting to the Leqi platform can likewise improve the informatization level of their tax management and safeguard the healthy and stable development of the industry, while also reflecting the tax authorities' humanized and differentiated principles in policy implementation.

(3) Technical/security conditions

1. Compliance, legality and liability:The direct connection entity shall, in accordance with the Cybersecurity Law of the People's Republic of China, the Data Security Law of the People's Republic of China, the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, and other relevant laws and regulations, implement the cybersecurity multi-level protection system, assume the cybersecurity protection responsibility of the direct connection platform, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the direct connection platform. Enterprises must comply with cybersecurity, data security, and other relevant regulations, follow the management requirements of tax authorities, truthfully report major changes and user entity situations to tax authorities, and bear joint liability for serious consequences caused by user entities' illegal and non-compliant acts. In today's digital era, network and data security are crucial. Tax authorities impose clear requirements on the technical and security management capabilities of enterprises accessing the Leqi Platform, aiming to ensure the security and confidentiality of tax-related data, prevent data leakage, tampering, and other security incidents, and maintain the stability of tax collection and management order. Enterprises must establish a sound security management system, possess corresponding technical protection measures to meet compliance requirements, and bear corresponding legal responsibilities for possible security issues.

2. Professional capabilities and relevant authorizations:The direct connection entity must possess professional informatization construction, service, operation and maintenance, and security capabilities, and have software copyright, use rights, or relevant authorization for the self-owned information system intended to access the Leqi Platform. Direct connection access to the Leqi Platform involves complex informatization system integration and interfacing work, requiring enterprises to have professional technical teams and mature technical architectures that can ensure stable operation and continuous optimization of the system. At the same time, the requirements for information system-related rights ensure enterprises' technical autonomy and legality, facilitating enterprises to carry out personalized development and customization according to their own business needs under the framework of the Leqi Platform, achieving deep integration of tax management and enterprise overall informatization construction.

II. Analysis of Leqi Direct Connection integration difficulties

(1) Process Design

Leqi only provides some core interface capabilities, and enterprises need to develop all their own business systems according to their own invoicing logic, especially all reverse processes. If the order of interface calls is wrong, it will directly cause invoicing failure. This requires enterprises, when designing processes, to have an in-depth understanding and precise grasp of their own business processes and tax management requirements, and also to arrange professional technical personnel to carefully connect and jointly test the Leqi interfaces and internal enterprise systems, ensuring smooth processes at every stage. For enterprises lacking rich informatization construction experience and professional tax management knowledge, this is an extremely challenging task.

(II) Verification logic

Every invoicing data parameter passed has strict validation logic, requiring enterprises to invest substantial manpower and time in corresponding development work. However, the Leqi interface returns only two simple results for parameter logic errors—success and failure—without specifying the exact cause of the error, which increases the difficulty for enterprises to troubleshoot problems. In addition, the Leqi interface performs no validation for business-generated validation logic, so risks such as an incorrect invoicing party tax number or a mismatch between tax code and tax rate must be borne by the enterprise itself. When developing invoicing data validation logic, enterprises must not only follow the Leqi interface specifications but also combine their own business rules and tax policy requirements to establish a comprehensive and detailed validation system, ensuring the accuracy and compliance of invoicing data and avoiding tax risks and invoicing failures caused by data errors—this places very high demands on an enterprise's technical strength and tax expertise.

(3) Layout file composition

After invoice issuance is completed, Leqi only returns a success or failure result for the upload. Enterprises need to use the serial number to call the "Upload Result Query API" to confirm whether the issuance was successful, and the PDF/OFD/XML layout files at the preview layer need to be synthesized by the enterprise itself. Enterprises must develop their own methods for constructing the corresponding layout files. For example, when handling complex situations such as multi-line invoice details, achieving accurate generation and compliant display of layout files is technically difficult. If enterprises choose layout file templates from the tax authority, they will face the problem of low scalability, making it difficult to meet diverse business needs and invoice issuance scenarios, which to a certain extent limits enterprise flexibility and innovation capability in invoice management, and also increases the technical burden and cost investment in layout file processing.

(4) Differences in invoice types

When connecting to the Leqi platform, different invoice types differ significantly in validation logic, format, and process parameter passing. Enterprises need to re-sort the corresponding integration process and development work for each invoice type, which means that during Leqi Direct Connection access, enterprises face complex technical requirements and business rules for multiple invoice types and must carry out a large amount of repetitive development and testing, greatly increasing project time and labor costs. This is a severe test of an enterprise's technical team and project management capabilities, and it is also prone to causing various problems and risks due to improper handling of differences between invoice types.

(5) Sandbox testing

Within 72 hours after sandbox testing begins, the enterprise must complete all testing work for the activated capabilities; otherwise, it will face the dilemma of resubmitting application materials and waiting for Leqi review approval before restarting testing. This strict time limit requires enterprises to have efficient and rigorous test organization and execution capabilities during the sandbox testing phase. They need to formulate a complete test plan in advance, reasonably arrange test resources, and conduct comprehensive and detailed testing of all functions and business processes to ensure that all potential issues are discovered and resolved within the specified time and that testing is completed smoothly. This not only tests the enterprise's technical strength but also places high demands on its project management efficiency and emergency response capabilities. Once a problem occurs during testing and cannot be resolved in time, it will seriously affect the overall project progress and launch time.

(6) Operation interface development

Enterprises need to independently develop and design an operation interface with a concise page and high usability, covering multiple functional modules such as permission management, invoice issuance, approval invoicing, invoicing record statistics, invoice delivery, and group reports. A good operation interface is a key factor in improving user experience and work efficiency, but developing an operation interface that meets an enterprise's own business needs and user habits requires the enterprise to have a professional UI/UX design team and rich software development experience, deeply understand the enterprise's internal tax management processes and user operation scenarios, and conduct repeated requirement research, design optimization, and user testing to ensure the interface's intuitiveness, usability, and efficiency. For many enterprises that focus on core business operations and lack professional software development and design capabilities, this is an arduous task.
