For B2B sales where Chinese companies need VAT input credits, only a government-issued Fapiao is accepted.
Golden tax system
Official VAT special invoices must be issued through China Golden Tax System.
Foreign businesses
Foreign companies selling to China issue commercial invoices, Chinese buyers manage Fapiao through their local suppliers.
Bilingual is preferred
Include both Chinese and English descriptions to minimize confusion.
