<p class="shortdesc">Before applying for an invoice, select the invoice type and configure invoice information.</p> <section class="section context"><div class="tasklabel"><h2 class="doc-tairway">About this task</h2></div> <p class="p">When applying for an invoice, select the general or special VAT invoice type for your enterprise. You cannot apply for these two types of invoices at the same time.</p><p class="p">If your enterprise is a general VAT taxpayer, apply for a special VAT invoice. For a special VAT invoice, 6% of its face amount can be deducted within a 180-day deduction period.</p> <p class="p">If your enterprise is a small-scale taxpayer or a non-VAT taxpayer instead of a general taxpayer, we recommend that you apply for a general VAT invoice. Small-scale or non-VAT taxpayers cannot use special VAT invoices for VAT deduction. The special VAT invoice has a 180-day deduction period. Special VAT invoices cannot be revised 180 days after being issued, which might cause difficulties in the refund process in the future.</p></section> <section id="invoiceinfo__steps_d15_ngl_blb"><div class="tasklabel"><h2 class="doc-tairway">Procedure</h2></div><ol class="ol steps" id="invoiceinfo__steps_d15_ngl_blb"><li class="li step stepexpand"> <span class="ph cmd">Log in to the <a class="xref" href="/console/home/dashboard" target="_blank">Console</a>.</span> </li><li class="li step stepexpand"> <span class="ph cmd">In the top navigation bar, click <span class="ph uicontrol">Fees</span> to enter the <span class="keyword wintitle">Billing Management </span>page.</span> </li><li class="li step stepexpand"> <span class="ph cmd">In the left navigation pane, select <span class="ph menucascade"><span class="ph uicontrol">Invoice Management</span><abbr title="and then"> > </abbr><span class="ph uicontrol">Billing Information</span></span> .</span> <div class="itemgroup info"> <p class="p">Alternatively, you can also click <span class="ph uicontrol">Add Now</span> in the <span class="ph uicontrol">Invoice Information</span> area on the <span class="ph menucascade"><span class="ph uicontrol">Invoice Management</span><abbr title="and then"> > </abbr><span class="ph uicontrol">Invoice Application</span></span> page.</p> <img class="image" id="invoiceinfo__image_jlx_2pr_blb" src="https://obs-cn-shanghai.yun.pingan.com/pcp-portal/20200308111307-103863a3997e.png"> </div> </li><li class="li step stepexpand"> <span class="ph cmd">Select <span class="ph uicontrol">GENERAL VAT INVOICE</span> or <span class="ph uicontrol">SPECIAL VAT INVOICE</span>.</span> </li><li class="li step stepexpand"> <span class="ph cmd">Configure the invoice information.</span> <div class="itemgroup info"> <ul class="ul" id="invoiceinfo__ul_och_rvl_blb"> <li class="li"> <p class="p"><strong class="ph b">GENERAL VAT INVOICE</strong></p> <p class="p">Enter the identification number of the taxpayer.</p> </li> <li class="li"> <p class="p"><strong class="ph b">SPECIAL VAT INVOICE</strong></p> <p class="p">Enter the tax registration number, bank name, bank account, registered address, and registered phone number, and upload scanned copies of the tax registration certificate and the general taxpayer's certificate.</p> <div class="note important note_important"><span class="note__title">Important:</span> <p class="p">Because the invoice header is obtained from the enterprise authentication data, the invoice header cannot be modified, currently.
