Digitalized E-Fapiao Information Guide

A: A Digitalized E-Fapiao is a new type of fapiao with the same legal effect as a paper fapiao. Digitalized E-Fapiao is not in paper format, does not require any tax control equipment such as tax disk, and does not need to be physically purchased. Digitalized E-Fapiao fully digitizes the information of paper fapiao. It integrates multiple types of fapiaos into a single type of electronic fapiao through label management, and implements the unified national code assignment. The system automatically grants the quota of fapiao, and establishes a tax digital account to realize the automatic flow of fapiao delivery and data collection. To learn more about Digitalized E-Fapiao, see the following:  

• “Notice of the State Taxation Administration Beijing Municipal on Implementing the Pilot Program of Fully Digitalized Electronic Invoices” ;
• “Notice of the State Taxation Administration Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region on Implementing the Pilot Program of Fully Digitalized Electronic Invoices”

A: A Digitalized E-Fapiao simplifies or removes some information and columns included in a paper fapiao. For example, it removes address, telephone number, bank name, and bank account information of both the buyer and seller, only keeping their name and tax registration number. It also replaces the original fapiao code and fapiao number with only the 20-digit fapiao number. The Payee and Reviewer columns are removed (the Issuer column is retained). The "seller (seal)" column is also removed because stamping a Digitalized E-Fapiao is not required.
