(The State Administration of Taxation: 15 March 1994 Coded GuoShui Fa [1994] No. 058)
Whole Doc.
To the tax bureaus of various provinces, autonomous regions and
municipalities, and to the tax bureaus of various cities with independent
planning:
In accordance with the stipulations of the Provisional Regulations on
Value-Added Tax, small-scale taxpayer shall not obtain, purchase and use
special vouchers. The aim of these regulations is to strengthen the
management of special vouchers and block the loophole of tax evasion.
However, because ordinary tax payers who purchase goods from the
small-scale tax payer cannot obtain special vouchers and it is therefore
impossible to deduct the purchase tax amount, this set of stipulations has
a certain influence on the sales of the small-scale tax payer. Considering
that this influence mainly exists in the enterprises and units of an
enterprise nature of the small-scale tax payers (hereinafter referred to
as small-scale enterprises) and in order to help strengthen the management
of special vouchers and avoid affecting the sales of small-scale
enterprises, on January 20, 1994 our bureau issued the Circular Concerning
the Tax Office Issuing Value- Added Tax Special Vouchers for Small-Scale
Enterprises to various localities in the form of an openly transmitted
telegraph coded Guo Shui Ming Dian [1994] No. 023. The text of the
Circular is hereby printed and issued to you, please continue to put it
into practice.
