At this year's two sessions, Zhang Jindong, member of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of Suning Holding Group, Ma Huateng, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Tencent's board of directors, and many other deputies put forward positive suggestions on the promotion and use of electronic invoices and related supporting application services. Guangdong Province will also start to fully implement electronic invoices on May 1 this year.
China's electronic invoices may usher in the "all-landing era".
Electronic invoice becomes "the new favorite of the times"
As one of the pilot enterprises of electronic invoice work in China, Wang Bo, deputy general manager of the finance department of China People's Property Insurance Co., Ltd. told the reporter that on June 27, 201April, PICC P&C became the first domestic enterprise to receive electronic invoices issued by external units; On July 20 15, the first electronic invoice for property insurance in Beijing was issued. PICC P&C has been actively exploring the application of electronic invoices.
"With the widespread concern of electronic invoices, more and more institutions and individual consumers have expressed their strong willingness to obtain electronic invoices. They prefer the convenience and security of electronic invoices in use and storage. At the same time, we hope that more enterprises can issue electronic invoices, so as to promote enterprises to receive more electronic invoices in business activities, so that its positive role in the operational efficiency of enterprises will gradually emerge. " Wang Bo said.
The increasing demand for electronic invoices is actually closely related to the fact that electronic invoices have broken through the limitations of traditional paper invoices, and the advantages of electronic invoices are enough to make them "new favorites of the times".
The important advantage of electronic invoice is to save the use cost, such as storage and printing cost. At the same time, electronic invoice is economical, environmentally friendly, efficient and fast. E-invoice also abandoned the design and concept of paper invoice triplet. After the financial cloud data is enjoyed in the future, e-invoice will effectively avoid problems such as repeated invoicing and reimbursement. Electronic invoices also have the advantages of anti-counterfeiting and anti-corruption.
Wang Fangjun, an associate professor at the School of Management of Xi 'an Jiaotong University, believes that, more crucially, electronic invoices can effectively supervise taxable subjects in e-commerce, reduce tax risks and management difficulties, and curb enterprises from accepting paper-based fake invoices, filling them out irregularly, reporting data is distorted, less invoices are not issued, tax evasion is avoided, and false invoices are issued on behalf of enterprises.
Wang Fangjun said that both receiving electronic invoices and issuing electronic invoices can improve the work efficiency of enterprise financial personnel, save time and cost, improve the timeliness of accounting, and make the financial situation reflected by accounting more effective.
"In addition, through the docking of the electronic invoice platform of the enterprise and the tax department, the electronic invoice certified and encrypted by the tax department can be automatically obtained, which can ensure the authenticity of the invoice, that is, the employees and financial personnel of the enterprise do not have to go to the website of the relevant tax department to check the authenticity of the invoice." Wang Bo told reporters.
Take multiple measures to achieve gradual landing
Some experts in the industry said that it is difficult for enterprises to issue and receive electronic invoices point to point, and it is urgent to establish a unified national electronic invoice platform at the tax management level to promote electronic invoices faster and better.
At present, the electronic invoice issuing, receiving and recording has not yet formed a perfect system and process, and more government departments, such as the State Taxation Bureau, the Local Taxation Bureau, the invoice technical service providers and large invoice users, have adopted cooperative pilot promotion. The scale effect has not yet appeared, and some problems have been exposed, which need to be further standardized on the basis of the pilot in the future.
In the interview, many interviewees mentioned that the difficulty of docking electronic invoices with financial software is one of the problems that hinder the promotion of electronic invoices at present. The reason is that the electronic invoice, as the original voucher for accounting, needs an electronic signature that meets the requirements. However, at present, the different electronic signature standards in different places objectively increase the difficulty of seamless docking between financial software and electronic invoices, which restricts the promotion and application of electronic invoices to a certain extent. Therefore, it is urgent to unify the electronic signature standard.
China has made it clear that financial enterprises will start to implement the reform of the camp from May 20 16 1 day. As a pilot enterprise, Wang Bo said: "As the main invoice form used by enterprises after the reform of the camp, the special VAT invoice is still not allowed to be issued in electronic form, which will become a bottleneck for the further promotion and application of electronic invoices. Enterprises can't issue and receive special VAT invoices in electronic form, which leads to the obvious advantages of electronic invoices in saving costs, improving enterprise management efficiency and reducing tax risks, which is not conducive to the further expansion of the application scope of electronic invoices. This is an urgent problem to be solved at present. " Wang Fangjun believes that if the state can introduce laws and regulations related to electronic invoices as soon as possible, realize reimbursement and full circulation of electronic invoices, and provide subsidy policies for enterprises that fully implement electronic invoices, more enterprises will be encouraged to participate in the promotion of electronic invoices.
In addition, enterprises should establish a financial system or ERP system suitable for electronic invoices, which will have a vertical and in-depth impact on the upstream and downstream of enterprises and make preparations for the full realization of electronic invoices.
For small and micro enterprises, "ticket, finance and tax" are several checkpoints that they must go through in their operations. For small and micro enterprises with no advantages in capital and manpower, how to get a lift from the reform of the camp reform and enjoy the convenience brought by the reform of electronic invoices is a matter of great concern to small and micro enterprises.
This year will be the year when electronic invoices and electronic accounting files begin to land, and electronic invoices will gradually land in the system. In this regard, Bathen Chow, vice president of Changjietong Information Technology Co., Ltd., said that the integration of "ticket, finance and tax" has now become a common demand of enterprises, and most enterprises hope to operate their enterprises in a more standardized, convenient and efficient way.
In order to solve the problem of self-employed individuals in small and micro enterprises, for small and micro enterprises that are unable or qualified to issue electronic invoices, they can also expand the invoicing channels and seek to allow bookkeeping agencies to issue invoices on their behalf, so as to enjoy higher level and quality services.
The insiders believe that in the process of promoting electronic invoices, enterprises should improve the compatibility of invoicing, completely realize paperless, upgrade the enterprise financial system, make invoices and collect tickets, and strengthen the accounting refinement of electronic invoices and the construction of platforms, including hardware and software, so as to lower the threshold for the use of electronic invoices.
