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 light of the actual conditions emerged since the trial
implementation of the Regulations Concerning the Use of Special Vouchers
of Value-Added Tax, the circular on related issues is hereby given as
follows:
I. It is reported that at present tax authorities in some regions
have not as yet issued the new tax payers registration numbers to the tax
payers, the value-added tax payers in these regions still have to use the
old tax payer registration numbers when issuing or asking for special
vouchers. In view of this actual condition, before April 1 of this year,
the value-added tax payers still can use the old tax payer registration
number while issuing or asking for special vouchers, such special vouchers
can be used as tax-deduction certificates. Tax authorities in related
regions should issue the new tax payer registration number to the tax
payers not later that April 1 of this year. After April 1 of this year,
when special vouchers are issued, the new tax payer registration number
shall be written in the "Tax payer Registration Number" column of the
"goods selling unit" and the "goods purchasing unit", otherwise, the
special voucher shall not be used as tax-deduction certificate.
II. In light of the actual conditions, the telephone numbers of both
the purchaser and the seller may not be written in the "Bank of Deposit
and Account Number" column of the special voucher.
III. In view of the fact that power supply departments and tap water
companies have possessed the condition of using electronic computers to
draw up special vouchers, the special vouchers manufactured under the
supervision of tax authorities and the special vouchers drawn up with
electronic computer may be used for the electricity or tap water they
sell, but ordinary vouchers shall be drawn up when electricity and tap
water are sold to consumers.
Power supply departments or tap water companies which have not as yet
obtained external special vouchers may temporarily use ordinary vouchers
in place of special vouchers. The ordinary vouchers gained from the
purchase of electricity or tap water by ordinary tax payers may be used as
certificates for calculating the volume of tax on purchase. The formula
for calculating the purchase tax volume is as follows:
The sum of
money for
The volume purchase Tax rate
of tax on purchase of = ------- X of power or
electricity or tap water (1 +the tax rate tap water
of power or tap
water)
The tax authorities in various localities should provide external
special vouchers to power supply departments and tap water companies
before May 1 of this year. Beginning from May 1 of this year, power supply
departments and tap water companies, except for selling power and tap
water to consumers, shall issue special vouchers.
IV. In order to reduce the work amount of issuing special vouchers
and lower the use cost of special vouchers, itemized special vouchers may
be drawn up for many kinds of goods sold. If the applicable tax rates for
the goods sold are not the same, special vouchers shall be itemized
respectively according to different tax rates. When itemized special
vouchers are used, the volumes "Name of Commodities and Labor Services",
"Unit of Measurement" and "Unit Price" may not be filled.
The itemized special vouchers must be attached with the detailed list
of goods sold affixed with the special financial seal or the special
voucher seal. which is issued by the seller. On the detailed list of goods
sold should be written the names of the units of both the purchaser and
the seller, the name of commodities or labor services, the unit of
measurement, quantity, unit price, sales volume; the consolidated sales
volume of the detailed list of goods sold should be same as the figures
given in the "Sum of Money" column of the special voucher. The purchaser
should ask for a detailed list of goods sold in duplicate, being
respectively attached at the back of the voucher form and the deduction
form.
The pattern of the detailed list of goods sold shall be mapped out by
the tax bureaus of various provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities
and cities with independent planning for the time being.
V. For the expenses not included in the calculated price (referring
to the charges not included in the calculated price outside the
value-added tax amount) collected from the goods old or taxable labor
services, if the price and the expenses not included the calculated price
and expenses may be filled in the "Unit price" column of the special
vouchers, attached with an itemized table of the expense not included in
the calculated price which should be given to the goods purchaser. But if
the expense not included in the calculated price belongs to withholding
consumption tax and no value-added tax is levied, then the combined total
should not be included in the expense not included in the calculated
price. This expense not included in the calculated price requires the
drawing up of separate ordinary vouchers.
In the itemized table of the expense not included in the calculated
prices should be written the name of the units of both the purchaser and
the seller, the name of the commodities or labor services on which
expenses not included in the calculated price are charged, the unit of
measurement, quantity, the name of the items of expenses not included in
the calculated prices, the unit expense standards as well as the amount of
expense not included in the calculated prices (the unit expense standard
is multiplied by quantity), In the itemized table should be affixed the
special financial seal or the special voucher seal of the seller. The
goods purchaser should ask for the itemized table of expenses not included
in the calculated prices in duplicate, which should be attached
respectively to the back of the voucher form and the deduction form.
The pattern of the itemized table of the expense not included in the
calculated price shall be temporarily mapped out by the tax bureaus of
various provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities and various cities
with independent planning.
VI. In order to facilitate the management of special vouchers, the
retail sales units which sell goods to ordinary tax payers may issue
special vouchers, but should not issue special vouchers when they sell
goods to other units and individuals. Ordinary tax payers who purchase
goods at retail sales units shall present a copy of the tax registration
certificate affixed with a special seal identified by the ordinary tax
payer, otherwise a special voucher shall not be issued to him.
