Kailing Technology Invoice Issuance for Individuals Solution, helping authors conveniently complete manuscript fee invoicing and ensuring publishers obtain compliant invoices

Under the policy background of China Golden Tax Phase IV's "tax governance by data," tax regulation has achieved penetrating analysis of capital flows, business flows, and personnel information, and the "four flows in one" has become a core requirement for enterprise business-finance-tax compliance. For the publishing industry, after paying remuneration to authors, legally valid VAT invoices must be obtained as pre-tax deduction vouchers for corporate income tax. However, in the traditional royalty invoicing model, problems such as cumbersome author invoicing operations, high communication costs between both parties, and difficulty in retaining a compliance evidence chain are prominent, which not only affects the efficiency of author remuneration settlement but also brings potential tax risks to publishers. The dedicated solution built by Kailing Technology based on natural person invoicing API integration precisely addresses the industry's pain points and achieves a win-win outcome of convenient author invoicing and compliant invoice acquisition by publishers.

I. Core pain points of royalty invoicing scenarios

(1) Publishing houses face sharply rising compliance pressure, caught between obtaining invoices and risk control

China Golden Tax Phase IV explicitly requires corporate business to satisfy the consistency of "contract flow, invoice flow, capital flow, and deliverable flow." Fraudulent invoicing, white slip accounting, and similar behaviors are easily identified and warned by the system. Publishing house co-authors are scattered across the country, and some authors lack business-finance-tax compliance awareness, making it difficult to provide complete business supporting materials. At the same time, tax bureaus in different provinces have differences in document requirements and tax rate standards for manuscript fee invoicing, and manual adaptation is prone to omissions, resulting in a low acquisition rate of compliant invoices, directly affecting input tax deductions and even leading to tax audit penalties.

(2) High operational threshold for authors to issue invoices, with cumbersome and time-consuming processes

Most authors focus on creation and lack professional business-finance-tax knowledge and online operation experience: on one hand, they need to complete real-name verification and fill in complex information such as the publisher's taxpayer identification number, remuneration amount, and place of taxable occurrence, and errors in filling in information (such as improper item classification or incorrect tax rate selection) can easily make the invoice unbookable; on the other hand, under the traditional model they need to jump across multiple platforms to complete steps such as face-scan authentication and tax payment, and some middle-aged and elderly authors even give up midway due to face-scan failure or unfamiliarity with the operations, stretching the invoicing cycle to several days and affecting the timely receipt of remuneration.

(3) Persistently high communication costs between both parties, low collaboration efficiency

Publishing houses need dedicated staff to coordinate with authors and guide them through the entire process of document submission, information modification, tax payment, etc. Because authors are geographically dispersed and communication channels are inconsistent, problems such as delayed supplementary document uploads and invoicing information inconsistent with contract terms often occur. Repeated communication not only consumes substantial human resource costs for publishing houses, but may also affect book publication progress due to invoice issuance delays.

(4) Evidence chain for business authenticity is scattered, making retention management difficult

Tax supervision requires publishers to retain a complete evidence chain corresponding to royalty payments, including cooperation contracts, royalty payment vouchers, authors' creative deliverables, and invoices. Under the traditional model, these materials are mostly stored as paper or scattered electronic files, easily lost and difficult to retrieve. Once facing a tax audit, it takes a great deal of time to organize and compile them, posing compliance evidence risks.

II. Kailing Technology Invoice Issuance for Individuals Solution: technology-driven, solving pain points on both sides

Relying on individual invoicing API integration, Kailing Technology builds a full-process digital solution, working from three dimensions: operational convenience, compliance risk control, and collaboration efficiency, while meeting the core needs of both authors and publishers.

(1) Invoicing for individualsSystemSimplify operations, making invoicing "zero-threshold" for authors

In response to authors' operational difficulties, the solution integrates the invoice issuance for individuals API interface into the publisher's existing platforms (such as the author service system and royalty settlement platform), achieving one-stop invoicing: no additional app download is required, and authors can invoke the face-scan authentication module within the publisher's platform to complete real-name authentication. The system automatically verifies the authenticity of identity information, avoiding repeated authentication; standardized invoicing items are preset and automatically matched to corresponding tax rates. Authors only need to confirm key content such as royalty amounts and publisher information, while the rest is intelligently filled in by the system, greatly reducing the error rate; the taxable place is automatically and accurately matched according to the publisher's registered province, complying with local tax policy requirements, with no manual selection by authors required.

(2) Full-process online closed loop, improving collaboration efficiency by 80%

The solution creates a full online process of "application-review-payment-invoice issuance-archiving": after the author submits an invoicing application, the system pushes progress notifications in real time, and the publisher can view the application status in real time through the backend; a built-in information verification engine intercepts issues such as incorrect taxpayer identification numbers and abnormal amount entries in advance, automatically reminding authors to correct them and reducing the number of supplementary document uploads; after review is approved, authors can choose WeChat, Alipay QR code payment,Bank-enterprise direct connectionMultiple tax and fee payment methods such as payment, with no need to visit the bank offline; after payment is completed, e-invoices and tax payment certificates are generated immediately, authors can download them directly, and publishers simultaneously obtain electronic copies of the documents, achieving "5 minutes to submit an application, documents in hand without delay," completely solving the problems of long time consumption and low efficiency in the traditional model.

(3) Compliance risk control system builds a solid defense line, publishers free from tax concerns

The solution deeply aligns with the regulatory requirements of China Golden Tax Phase IV, connecting the publishing house's contract management, fund payment, author services, and other systems to achieve automatic linkage and archiving of "four-flow consistency" data: cooperation contracts are automatically synchronized to the invoicing system after online signing, royalty payment vouchers are connected to fund flow data in real time, and authors' creative achievements can be uploaded and retained through the platform, forming a complete evidence chain of business authenticity that can be retrieved with one click during tax audits; built-in nationwide 36 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regionsThe tax policy rule library automatically adapts to local tax rate standards and documentation requirements for invoicing remuneration for manuscripts, avoiding invalid invoices caused by policy differences; the system monitors invoicing data in real time and automatically warns of abnormal invoicing behavior (such as high-frequency invoicing in a short period or abnormal amount fluctuations), avoiding compliance risks from the source.

(4) Simplified individual income tax filing reduces the burden on both parties simultaneously

To address the difficulty of withholding and remitting individual income tax on manuscript remuneration, the solution provides full-process digital support: authors can directly submit special additional deduction information through the integrated interface, and the system automatically calculates the individual income tax payable and clearly displays the tax calculation details, without the need to separately operate the Natural Person Electronic Tax Bureau; publishers can export invoiced data from the backend and upload it to the tax withholding client with one click to complete withholding and remittance operations, complying with the tax regulation of "withholding before the 15th of the following month," ensuring invoices are legal and valid, and avoiding the problem of invoices being non-deductible due to failure to withhold as required. At the same time, during the author's annual comprehensive income reconciliation, the platform allows quick inquiry of the full year's manuscript remuneration invoicing records, simplifying the reconciliation process.
