Quick Tool Overview

The CNY builder produces the commercial record a cross-border supply to China needs, and is straight about the limit: a fapiao is a separate document only the tax bureau’s system can issue, and no browser tool can produce one.

About the Invoice in CNY

China is the one market where a commercial invoice is genuinely not the tax document. The fapiao is issued through the tax bureau’s own system on controlled stock, and it — not your invoice — is what lets a Chinese buyer expense the cost or reclaim the VAT. A supplier outside China cannot issue one, and no browser tool can either.

What a commercial invoice in yuan is for, then, is the commercial record: the contract reference, the description, the amounts, the bank details. For a cross-border supply it also supports the buyer’s foreign payment application, which their bank will scrutinise against the contract.

VAT rates are 13% for most goods, 9% for transport, construction and some utilities, and 6% for most services, with small-scale taxpayers on a lower simplified rate. Amounts are conventionally written with the ¥ or RMB prefix and, on formal documents, also in Chinese financial numerals — the anti-alteration convention this suite’s amount-in-words line serves elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

The official tax receipt issued through China’s tax bureau system. It is the document that entitles a Chinese buyer to deduct the expense or reclaim VAT. A commercial invoice, however detailed, is not a substitute for one.
