"Reverse invoicing" adds momentum to the circular economy, and Kailing Technology's reverse invoicing solution helps enterprises achieve compliance with peace of mind

Since China implemented the "reverse invoicing" policy for resource recycling enterprises to natural person sellers of scrapped products on April 29, 2024, this innovative mechanism has not only injected strong momentum into the circular economy but also promoted high-quality development of the resource recycling industry by standardizing industry tax management and reducing enterprise operating costs. However, during policy implementation, resource recycling enterprises face multiple challenges such as standardized invoicing processes, efficient tax-enterprise collaboration, and full-process compliance traceability. The reverse invoicing digital management solution launched by Beijing Kailing Technology Co., Ltd. empowers enterprises with professional technology and provides full-lifecycle business-finance-tax integrated support, enabling "reverse invoicing" to operate efficiently on a compliant track.

I. Policy Empowers the Circular Economy, and Compliance Management Becomes a Required Course for Enterprises

The introduction of the "reverse invoicing" policy directly addresses the long-standing pain points of the resource recycling industry. Previously, front-end individual recyclers mostly conducted business through "sales without invoices," resulting in enterprises lacking input deduction vouchers and high operating costs, while the non-compliant invoicing behavior of some individuals also planted operational risks. After the policy's implementation, resource recycling enterprises can directly issue invoices marked "scrapped product purchase" to individuals in reverse, which both solves the enterprise input deduction difficulty and standardizes industry order by clarifying individuals' tax obligations (handling business income annual reconciliation before March 31 of the following year).

As reported by Economic Daily, during the 2025 annual settlement period, more than 170,000 taxpayers successfully completed tax refunds, and more than 30,000 individuals completed tax supplements, with a tax supplement processing rate exceeding 99.5%. Behind this achievement, it is inseparable from the tax authorities' precise guidance of "three rounds + classification" and dynamic management of "three-dimensional tracking ledgers," and it also depends on efficient execution on the enterprise side. Taking Ningde Dingxin Renewable Resources and Fujian Qingtuo Renewable Resources as examples, the two enterprises cumulatively issued reverse invoices to more than 3,000 individuals in 2024. It was precisely through jointly establishing a "tax-enterprise daily data communication" system with the tax authorities that they achieved tax-enterprise linkage and efficient collaboration.

But policy implementation imposes higher requirements on enterprises' refined management capabilities: How can the invoicing process be ensured to comply with the "electronic invoice service platform" standards? How can individual sales amounts be tracked in real time to avoid the risk of exceeding RMB 5 million without registering a business entity? How can the full evidence chain, such as purchase contracts and transport vouchers, be retained to meet the tax supervision requirement of "full traceability"? These issues all require strong support from technical solutions.

II. A full-process digitalization solution that builds a solid foundation for compliance and efficiency

Kailing Technology's digital management solution for reverse invoicing, with "professional, efficient, and reliable" as its core, builds a business-finance-tax integrated system covering the full lifecycle of resource recycling, from business process sorting to system technical support, precisely responding to policy requirements and enterprise needs.

1. Precise invoicing and tax compliance:The system integrates an identity verification module. Individuals register by scanning a QR code via a mini-program and complete real-name authentication and agreement signing in real time, ensuring compliance with the tax authorities' requirement that "first-time invoicing requires consent and retention of proof." At the same time, the system automatically matches product SKUs with tax categories to prevent incorrect tax rates and withholds individual income tax in advance, perfectly adapting to the policy requirement of "monthlyRules such as "VAT exemption for sales amounts below 100,000 yuan."

2. Full-chain data management:The Kailing solution builds an integrated "business-finance-tax" blueprint, connecting to weighbridge systems, SAP, and fund platforms, automatically collecting weighing data (gross weight, tare weight, cargo photos, etc.), and generating electronic ledgers. This directly responds to the State Taxation Administration's directive to "preserve materials proving business authenticity"; the system archives evidence chains such as purchase contracts and payment records to ensure "traceability for inspection." Kailing's system implements "invoice pool" management, prepays and calculates taxes, and monitors individuals' sales amounts in real time, helping enterprises efficiently handle annual tax settlement.

3. Efficient delivery and service assurance:The solution supports private deployment and can adopt the RPA invoicing model, or upgrade to "Leqi" according to the enterprise's own conditionsInterface", source code delivery ensures enterprise autonomy and controllability. Kailing Technology's experienced team provides technical operation and maintenance services to ensure precise implementation of requirements and efficient project launch.

III. From data collaboration to evidence chain retention, compliance support across all dimensions

To meet the tax authorities' regulatory requirements for a "true, complete, and traceable evidence chain," the solution builds a "five-flow integration" traceability system: by connecting to the weighbridge system to automatically obtain weighbridge tickets, linking to the logistics system to capture transportation trajectories, synchronizing bank transaction records for fund payments, and archiving electronic contracts and invoice information, it achieves full matching of contract flow, logistics flow, fund flow, invoice flow, and order flow. The system automatically generates a purchase ledger, recording in detail the time, location, seller information, and scrapped product details of each transaction. If an enterprise's existing ledgers contain related content, they can be directly linked without duplicate entry, greatly reducing management burden.

From policy implementation to industry upgrading, the "reverse invoicing" mechanism is reshaping the ecosystem of the resource recycling industry. Kailing Technology's digital management solution for reverse invoicing is not only a compliant executor of policy requirements, but also a capable assistant for enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Through technological empowerment, it makes the invoicing process more standardized, tax-enterprise collaboration more efficient, and evidence tracing more precise, ultimately driving the resource recycling industry to accelerate development on a compliant track and injecting sustained momentum into the circular economy. As experts say, transparent and intelligent services are rebuilding mutual trust between tax authorities and taxpayers, and Kailing Technology's solution is precisely the key link connecting policy and practice in this process.
