E-INVOICING INITIATIVE AND TAX IMPLICATION – IMPACT ON BUSINESSES (MANDARIN SPEAKING)
WHAT’S e-INVOICE?
An electronic invoice refers to a payment voucher issued, received, and stored electronically in the process of purchasing and selling goods, providing or accepting services, and conducting other business activities. In the near future, the government will fully implement the electronic invoice system, replacing forms such as paper or electronic documents, such as invoices, return vouchers, and additional expense vouchers.
The implementation of electronic invoices will also have a profound impact on tax management. Through the electronic invoice system, the government can more efficiently supervise the transaction process, reducing the possibility of tax evasion and avoidance. The digital nature of electronic invoice records also enables tax authorities to more easily conduct data analysis and audits to ensure that taxpayers’ tax payments comply with legal requirements.

A Quick Comparison
Digital Invoice vs E-Invoice

Digital Invoice
A digital invoice is any invoice in electronic format, such as PDFs, Excel files, or scanned copies. It is manually sent via email or other channels and does not require real-time validation. While convenient, it often requires manual processing, making it prone to errors and compliance issues.

E-Invoice
An e-invoice follows a structured format (XML/JSON) and is electronically transmitted through a government-approved system. It requires validation by tax authorities, ensuring compliance with legal standards. E-invoices integrate with accounting systems, enabling automation, security, and accuracy, making them mandatory in many countries for tax reporting.
