The invoice can be issued within 90 days. The use period for taxpayers to receive and purchase ordinary invoices is 6 months. Ordinary value-added tax invoices with a service life of more than 6 months need to go through the old inspection procedures with the competent national tax authorities. Under normal circumstances, after confirming the loss of the invoice, the drawer must apply to the competent tax authorities in time to handle the relevant procedures for the loss of the invoice, and apply for the tax payment certificate and other evidence according to law and submit it to the drawee for relevant follow-up work. However, it is necessary to pay special attention to the basic premise of voiding the issued invoice, that is, all the copies of the corresponding invoice must be complete.

Electronic invoices cannot be voided, only red-ink processing can be done. The electronic invoice system does not support voiding operation, and in case of return, wrong electronic invoice issuance, etc., the drawer should offset it by issuing a red-ink invoice. Because the electronic ordinary VAT invoice is reproducible and cannot be recycled, it cannot be voided once it is issued. Invoices shall be issued truthfully at one time in accordance with the prescribed time limit, sequence, column by column and all times, and stamped with the special seal for unit invoices.
