Doing e-commerce, the biggest fear is not no single, but the single volume up, the cost ticket but not.

The books run tens of millions of dollars, the actual profit is not much, and the result is a tax calculation:The cost of no ticket can not be deducted, the corporate income tax is paid at 25%, and the value-added tax must also be calculated at 13% credit gap. At the end of the year, all the money earned is handed over to the tax bureau.

In particular, in Shenzhen, the Golden Tax IV+ platform data reporting background“Lack of votes” has gone from a financial chore to an existential risk.The

Today's Enterprise Cai Ying(Online Customer Service WeChat: jxhqcy890 / Mobile: 16625410105)This article to help you speak clearly once 👇 shenzhen e-commerce bosses most often encountered “lack of cost tickets” problem, split to speak through:Where are the risks, don't touch the red lines, how to break compliance, and what to do with real casesThe

01 Why are Shenzhen e-commerce companies prone to lack of tickets?

The vast majority are not intentional, but are dictated by the business model:

• Pick up from stalls/small workshops/individuals::Huaqiang North, shoots, Yiwu Commodity Market, many suppliers do not have a ticket, or “invoicing plus 5-8 points”;
• Promotion fees, commissions, part-time customer service::Paying individual anchors, dudes, temps, the other side can't write a ticket;
• Too many small and sporadic purchases::Packing bags, express delivery premiums, temporary handling, small accessories, a single small but cumulative hundreds of thousands of dollars throughout the year;
• They don't want the ticket because it's cheaper.::The supplier said that not invoicing is cheaper 3%, the boss thought: save it first.

The result:The business is real, but the tax does not recognize the cost, the profit is inflated, the tax burden skyrocketsThe

Missing $10 million in entry tickets, general taxpayers will probably have to pay more:

VAT of 1.3 million + CIT of 2.5 million ≈ 3.8 million(Not counting additional taxes).

.

02 These three red lines must not be stepped on

1. Purchase of invoices / false invoicing

The Golden Tax Phase IV comparison is not “whether there is a ticket”, but “capital flow, invoice flow, goods flow” is consistent. The capital flow back to a catch, light tax fine, heavy criminal liability.

.

2. Charge-offs against unrelated invoices

Taking gasoline tickets, food and beverage tickets, and the boss's personal consumption tickets to offset the purchase cost is a “false cost”, and the risk of audit is high.
.

3. Private households receiving payment for goods without declaring it and trying to “offset” the lack of invoices

The platform data will now be reported to the Tax Bureau, private water and declared income does not match, directly triggering the “hidden income” identified as a set of back taxes + late fees + fines to take away.
.

Bottom line: business not real = looking for death; business real but no tickets = salvageable.

03 4 paths to compliance busting (provided the business is real)

✅ Road 1: Small incidental expenditures (single ≤ 500 yuan), can be deducted without invoices

向persons（Procurement of small quantities of goods/services (for non-individuals/companies):

• reservationsReceipt voucher (state name, ID number, item, amount)
• Internal vouchers (warehouse receipts, purchase lists)
• Record of non-cash payments (bank/WeChat/Alipay public transfers)

Pre-tax deductible, no need to go to the tax office to write on your behalfThe

.

✅ Road 2: Supplier write-offs/loss of contact, “chain of evidence” instead of invoices

The other party has been canceled, suspended, or irregular, so you really can't make up the ticket:

Required information (to form a complete chain of evidence):

1. Proof of cancellation/non-standardization of the other party's account
2. Procurement contracts/agreements
3. Non-cash payment vouchers
4. Logistic slips, warehousing slips, accounting records, etc.

In compliance with the Measures for the Administration of Vouchers for Pre-tax Deduction of Enterprise Income Tax (Announcement No. 28).Still deductible on a pre-tax basisThe

.

✅ Road 3: Architecture splitting (Shenzhen e-commerce most commonly used, the most stable)

Idea: isolate the “missing link” to the subject of authorized/low tax liability.

Common Play:

• enrollmentPurchasing self-employed/sole proprietorships::Docking small suppliers that cannot be invoiced, purchasing and then marking up the price for invoicing to the main company; if applying for approved levy, the combined tax burden is often very low (e.g. around 2%).
• enrollmentService-oriented self-employed::Uniform settlement of Darren commission, temporary customer service, operation and promotion fees, invoicing to the main company.
• Main Company:Specializing in platform sales, customer service, tax compliance, take a ticket for credit, more real profits.

.

✅ Road 4: Shenzhen cross-border e-commerce - using the full “no ticket tax-free” policy

If you are doing cross-border (9610, etc.):

• February 1, 2026 onwards, Shenzhen cross-border e-commerce online integrated service platform“No tax exemption” registration moduleOptimized for online;
• Enterprises in the comprehensive test area, exporting goods without import certificates, may, in accordance with the regulationsExemption from value-added tax and consumption tax.;
• Corporate income tax may be combined withApproved levy(e.g., Approved Profit Margin 8%) to further reduce the tax burden.

.

Operational points: business authenticity, order/logistics/customs declaration consistency of the three streams, platform registration compliance, complete information retention.

The longer you delay the issue of missing tickets, the higher the potential risk and compliance costs.

Each e-commerce business has a different source structure, sales scale, and operating model, and a generic program may not be fully adapted to your current situation.Instead of trying to make mistakes on your own in a blind spot, let a professional take a look for you.
