Use this page to prepare a clear receipt-style record for a China transaction before the official tax invoice process is complete. In mainland China, the compliant tax invoice for sales of goods, services, intangible assets, or real estate is the official fapiao issued under PRC invoice administration rules, not an ordinary privately formatted bill alone.
A practical receipt record should still identify the buyer, seller, goods or services, quantity, unit price, total amount, issue date, and payment status. Treat it as an operating document for customer communication and internal records. For tax deduction, VAT credit, or statutory invoice support, the official fapiao remains the document that matters.
PRC invoice rules identify basic invoice contents as including the invoice name, code and number, customer name, goods or business item, unit, quantity, unit price, amount in figures and words, issuer, issue date, and issuing unit or individual. A receipt record that mirrors those fields reduces rework when the official fapiao is issued.
Enterprise purchasers requesting a VAT invoice must provide the taxpayer identification number or unified social credit code, and that identifier must appear on the invoice for it to serve as a valid tax voucher. Ask for that buyer detail before work starts or goods ship, because correcting buyer data after payment delays accounting and reimbursement.
China's indirect tax regime is VAT. From January 1, 2026, China's VAT Law preserves the main VAT rates of 13% for standard taxable goods and specified services, 9% for listed goods and services, 6% for other services and intangibles, and 0% for exports and specified cross-border transactions.
A VAT special invoice must show the sales amount and output VAT amount separately when an eligible purchaser requests one. For payment timing, China's Civil Code treats the due date as a contract term. If a sales contract does not agree on payment timing and the timing cannot be determined, the buyer pays when receiving the subject matter or the delivery document.
A free receipt record is enough for a one-off transaction, a reimbursement note, or a customer confirmation that does not replace the official fapiao. It stops being enough when multiple projects, billable hours, expenses, VAT categories, and client approvals feed the same billing cycle.
Everhour Reporting gives teams customizable reports with 45+ columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, and exports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF. That workflow helps you separate billable time, costs, invoice status, project data, and client totals before the formal China invoice or accounting handoff begins.

No. A receipt can document payment or a commercial record, but the compliant tax invoice for sales of goods, services, intangible assets, or real estate in mainland China is the official fapiao issued under PRC invoice administration rules. Use the receipt for operations, then rely on the fapiao for tax invoice purposes.
For an enterprise purchaser requesting a VAT invoice, collect the legal customer name and the taxpayer identification number or unified social credit code. That identifier must be provided and shown on the invoice for the VAT invoice to serve as a valid tax voucher.
Show VAT clearly when the transaction will later support VAT invoicing. A VAT special invoice for an eligible purchaser must state the sales amount and output VAT amount separately. A receipt record should not blur the taxable sales amount, VAT amount, and total payable amount.
Yes. PRC invoice administration rules provide that electronic invoices have the same legal effect as paper invoices. The same discipline still applies: invoice information must be truthful, sequential, completed in all required columns, and issued within the prescribed time limit.
Use RMB as the baseline for China accounting records. China's accounting rules use renminbi as the bookkeeping base currency and require accounting records to be in Chinese, with limited concurrent-language or foreign-currency bookkeeping allowances that still require RMB financial reporting.
Everhour Reporting organizes logged time, costs, clients, projects, billable amounts, and invoice status with customizable columns, filters, grouping, date ranges, and exports. Teams can prepare a billing backup file before issuing the formal fapiao or sending records to accounting.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing converts uninvoiced billable time and expenses into invoices, calculates amounts from rates and billable expenses, and excludes non-billable work. Invoice data can be grouped by project, task, person, date, or other available breakdowns.
Use Everhour Reporting to organize time, costs, billable amounts, and invoice status before China billing moves into tax and accounting review. Everhour keeps project billing records easier to verify.
