Further expansion of the Fully Digitized e-fapiao

As announced by the Chinese State Tax Administration (STA), the scope of recipients for fully digitized e-fapiao will be extended to 15 more provinces from 28 August 2022. In other words, all taxpayers in China are now able to receive fully digitized e-fapiao issued by pilot taxpayers from Guangdong, Shanghai, and Inner Mongolia.  

Additionally, a new feature has been added to the national e-portal, which enables pilot taxpayers to issue the fully digitized e-fapiao in batches by uploading the invoice data in a standardized Excel file. 

Fully digitized e-fapiao has the same legal effect as paper fapiao and standard e-fapiao, with the originals required to be stored in China for 30 years.
