Online freight reverse invoicing policy is about to be released: Core reasons to choose Kailing Technology's "reverse invoicing" solution

As the policy window approaches for the State Taxation Administration's launch of the "reverse invoicing" pilot for online freight in Jiangsu and other provinces in January 2026, localities such as Huai'an have already taken the lead in issuing the "18 Measures to Support the High-Quality and Healthy Development of Online Freight Platform Enterprises," explicitly proposing to "strive to become among the first pilot cities in the province" and promoting the implementation of the policy combination of "energy invoices + road and bridge toll invoices + reverse invoicing for freight charges." This transformation brings new opportunities to the online freight industry, which has long been plagued by "difficulty for individual drivers to issue invoices, lack of input deductions, and high tax risks," while also setting higher requirements for enterprises' compliance capabilities and technical support. Based on its experience in the business-finance-tax digitalization field and combined with the scenario characteristics of the online freight industry, Kailing Technology's "reverse invoicing" solution, with its core advantages, has become the preferred choice for enterprises to seize policy dividends and achieve compliant development.

I. Deep Policy Alignment: Precisely meet national and local pilot requirements and transition seamlessly through the transition period

The core prerequisite of "reverse invoicing" for online freight is "compliance," and policy adaptability directly determines the effectiveness of solution implementation. Kailing Technology's solution, from top-level design to operational details, fully aligns with national and local policy directions, clearing obstacles for enterprises in pilot implementation:

- National policy response: strictly follows the Provisions on the Reporting of Tax-Related Information by Internet Platform Enterprises (State Council Order No. 810) and the 2025 No. 5 Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration. The solution includes modules for "real-time reporting of transaction flows" and "input deduction verification for energy/tolls," ensuring that reverse-issued freight invoices, fuel procurement, and ETC toll records form a policy-permitted "three-invoice" coordinated deduction system, solving the pain points of "false fuel invoices and no basis for deduction" under the traditional model.

- Local pilot linkage: in response to Huai'an City's requirements to "advance the reverse invoicing pilot" and "ensure smooth operation during the transition period," the solution specially provides a "transition-period waybill integration tool" that supports enterprises in batch importing historical waybill data for which invoices have not yet been issued for individuals, automatically completing preparation for connection with the tax system; it also adapts to local service channels, enabling an online closed loop for invoice applications, tax fee inquiries, and issue feedback, without the need to build additional local system interfaces.

- Subject qualification compliance: Automatically verify the "carrier" qualification of online freight enterprises and the authenticity of individual driver identities, ensuring that the subject of reverse invoicing meets the policy restrictions of "only applicable to carrier platforms + natural persons with sales not exceeding 5 million," and avoiding from the source the risk of invalid invoicing caused by qualification mismatch.

II. Full-process automation: solving the pain points of "four flows in one," boosting efficiency by 80%

The core pain point of the online freight industry lies in "dispersed individual drivers and fragmented business data"—under the traditional model, drivers must visit tax bureaus offline for invoice issuance on their behalf, and enterprises must manually match waybills, GPS trajectories, and payment records, which is not only inefficient but also prone to "disconnection of the four flows." Kailing Technology's solution completely restructures the invoicing process through full-chain automation of "business-finance-tax":

- Automatic data aggregation: seamlessly connects to online freight enterprises' TMS (Transportation Management System), GPS positioning system, ETC platform, and payment system, capturing waybill information, trajectory data, toll vouchers, and payment flows in real time, completing the integration of basic "four flows" data without manual entry.

- Intelligent invoicing and filing: the system automatically adapts to tax policies based on waybill amounts and generates reverse invoices marked "online freight transport services" with one click; in the following month's filing period, it automatically generates the "Tax Payment Report on Behalf" and simultaneously completes the payment on behalf of drivers of VAT and surcharges and 0.5% individual income tax on business income, avoiding manual calculation errors and overdue filing risks.

- Online red-letter reversal and adjustment: In case of transportation cancellation or fee adjustment, the system supports initiating red-letter invoice applications online through the "blue invoice linked red-letter reversal" function, automatically synchronizing to the tax system and driver app, eliminating the need for enterprises to visit the tax bureau. Red-letter reversal records are bound and archived with original waybills and payment refund vouchers, ensuring the adjustment process is traceable.

III. Risk prevention and control across all dimensions: building a "zero audit risk" barrier, eliminating false invoicing and data loopholes

The core focus of tax audits on the online freight industry centers on "business authenticity"—such as false fuel invoices, retroactive invoicing for completed business, and drivers' sales exceeding limits. The Kailing Technology solution uses a three-layer risk control system of "pre-verification, in-process monitoring, and post-event evidence preservation" to block risks at the source:

- Pre-event qualification verification: Real-time monitoring of individual drivers' cumulative reverse invoicing sales over 12 consecutive months. If approaching the 5 million limit, automatic alerts are triggered; when exceeded, invoicing is immediately blocked and drivers are guided to register as business entities; meanwhile, waybill authenticity is verified through comparison of GPS trajectory and waybill mileage, eliminating the risk of false invoicing for "no actual transportation."

- In-process four-flow comparison: The system automatically verifies the consistency of "contract flow, logistics flow, capital flow, and invoice flow" every 30 minutes. If anomalies such as "capital flow inconsistent with driver identity" or "missing trajectory corresponding to waybill" occur, invoicing permissions are immediately frozen and alerts are pushed to the enterprise risk control end.

- Post-event evidence chain archiving: In accordance with the tax audit "10-year retention for inspection" requirement, automatically encrypts and stores 12 categories of materials including electronic transportation contracts, driver ID copies, GPS trajectory screenshots, payment receipts, and tax payment vouchers in the electronic archive system, supporting multi-dimensional retrieval by "waybill number/driver ID number/invoicing date," and enabling one-click export of structured evidence chains during tax audits without manual organization of paper materials.

IV. Highly elastic system integration: adapts to existing enterprise architecture and supports future policy iterations

Online freight enterprises have generally built their own business systems, and will face policy changes "from pilot to nationwide rollout" in the future. The "compatibility" and "scalability" of the solution are crucial. Kailing Technology's solution has strong flexible adaptability:

- Seamless integration with multiple systems: provides standardized API interfaces and has completed integration with mainstream TMS and payment platformsofPre-integrated, enterprises do not need to rebuild existing systems, and data connectivity can be completed in only 3-5 working days; for personalized systems, customized interface development services are available.

- Forward-looking layout for Leqi Direct Connection: The solution initially supports RPA invoicing mode to meet the basic needs of the pilot stage; after the tax authorities open the Leqi Direct Connection interface, it can smoothly upgrade to the "system directly connected to tax platform" mode, achieving second-level response to invoicing requests and real-time synchronization of invoice status, without the need for manual login to the electronic tax bureau.

- Private deployment ensures data security: Supports localized enterprise deployment, with all waybill data, driver information, and invoicing records stored on the enterprise's own servers, eliminating the risk of data leakage; also provides data backup and disaster recovery mechanisms to ensure business continuity and no data loss under extreme conditions.

The launch of the "reverse invoicing" pilot for online freight is both a watershed for industry "compliance reshuffling" and a window for enterprises to reduce tax burdens and improve efficiency. Kailing Technology's solution is not only a "technical tool," but also a "strategic partner" for enterprises to align with policies, prevent and control risks, and achieve high-quality development - from policy adaptation to process automation, from risk prevention and control to long-term service, comprehensively solving the pain points of online freight enterprises in implementing reverse invoicing.
