When an enterprise purchases goods, itNot obtaining tax deduction documents such as VAT special invoices, or only obtaining ordinary VAT invoices (non-deductible input tax). If companies can obtain compliant VAT invoices, they should prioritize normal export tax refunds, which are usually more beneficial than tax exemptions.

03.These are the types of sellers who should not touch the red line of "no tax exemption".
The conditions for application are clear, and even clearerWhich sellers are not suitable or prohibited to apply the "no ticket tax exemption"?The blind operation will face serious consequences:
General taxpayer enterprises (in specific cases): Although the policy does not prohibit general taxpayers altogether, if a businessAbandonment of the ability to obtain VAT invoicesIf a taxpayer deliberately avoids normal tax refund through "no invoice tax exemption", it may be recognized by the tax authorities as not in line with the original intent of the policy, and may even lead to the risk of audit. General taxpayer enterprises should prioritize the possibility of obtaining special invoices.
Enterprises engaged in cross-border e-commerce B2B export business: Customs supervision is carried out in the form of9710 (cross-border e-commerce B2B direct export) or 9810 (cross-border e-commerce export overseas warehouse) For the business of B2B export, the policy of "no invoice tax exemption" is not applicable, and should be implemented in accordance with the relevant B2B export tax policy (e.g. applying tax rebate or tax exemption).
The exported goods are goods whose export is prohibited or restricted by the State: Such goods themselves do not enjoy export tax rebates or tax exemption policies, "no invoices and tax exemption" is naturally impossible to talk about.
There are violations such as false trading, misrepresentation of the name of the product and understatement of the price: The premise of the "no-ticket tax exemption" is thatTruthful export, truthful declaration. Any attempt to fraudulently qualify for a tax exemption will be dealt with severely.
Goods for which a compliant input invoice has been obtained through other channels and declared for tax refund: The same batch of goods can not apply for both tax rebates and tax exemptions, enterprises need to choose the optimal solution according to their own situation, and ensure data consistency.
Enterprises that have been placed on the list of defaulters by the Integrated Service Platform or the tax authorities: Enterprises with bad credit will not be able to properly apply for various registrations and enjoy policies. 04These are the risks behind the "no-ticket tax exemption" that must be known
Even if the applicable conditions are met, "no ticket tax exemption" is not without risk, Shenzhen sellers need to be vigilant at all times:
Risk of bias in policy understanding and implementation: There are many details of the "no invoice tax exemption" policy, such as the definition of "retail export" and "not obtaining input invoices", which may not be properly understood or operated by enterprises (e.g., inaccurate registration information), Enterprises that do not understand the policy properly or operate improperly (e.g., inaccurate registration information, late operation) may not be able to enjoy the tax exemption or may even be considered as violating the law.
Data authenticity and compliance risk: The integrated service platform has realized the electronicization of the whole process and shared data with customs and taxation. Enterprises must ensure the authenticity, completeness and logical consistency of data such as export declarations and logistics information. Any data falsification may trigger an early warning and face tax audits and penalties.
"No ticket" is not the same as "no cost" and "discretionary pricing": The "no invoice tax exemption" is exempted from VAT and consumption tax, but EIT is still payable in accordance with the law (based on the profit of revenue minus costs and expenses). If an enterprise is unable to accurately account for its costs due to "no invoice", it may result in an abnormal enterprise income tax liability, which may be a cause for concern. At the same time, the true cost of purchasing goods still exists and cannot be priced arbitrarily in isolation from the laws of the market.
Risk of follow-up supervision by tax authorities: "Tax exemption without invoices" is not "once and for all". The tax authorities have the right to carry out follow-up management and inspection of businesses that have enjoyed the tax exemption policy. If it is found that the enterprise does not meet the conditions or has violated the law, the exempted tax will be recovered in accordance with the law, and late fees will be charged, and in serious cases, fines may be imposed.
Risk of confusion between planning techniques such as "no tax exemption" and "authorized levy": There is a danger that some sellers try to confuse the "no tax exemption" with other non-compliant tax planning techniques. It's important to stay true to your business.
Risk of relying on third-party surrogates: The Shenzhen Bureau of Commerce made a clear statementNo third-party organization has ever been commissioned to act as an agent for the registration of "tax exemption without a ticket".The registration of enterprises is not a good idea. Enterprises should not trust the promises of unscrupulous intermediaries to avoid disclosure of business information or financial losses, or even failure of registration.
