If you want a receipt, you have to pay more. If you want to open a special ticket, you have to pay more. Why?

I believe many friends have encountered this situation when shopping or going out to eat, that is, if you want to issue an invoice, the boss says you want extra money, or if you don't want an invoice, the boss will send you some extra drinks.

If you want to open a special ticket, the extra money will be even more.

As a non-accounting major, I don't know how the tax law is stipulated. But if you think about it a little, you will know that you will definitely not invoice, and the other party can pay less tax, so you have to pay more for invoicing, which is the tax money to pay.

The logic behind this idea is:

You have to pay taxes if you invoice, but you don't have to pay taxes if you don't invoice.

Actually, is that right?

Absolutely not.

Whether to pay taxes does not depend entirely on whether to issue invoices. Invoice is only a means of tax collection and management. If the sales income is realized without an invoice, tax will also be paid.

Then why is this phenomenon of invoicing more money so common in reality?

This is because they hide their income and evade taxes by not issuing invoices, which is not a formal act in itself, but an illegal act.

So why do they dare to say this to their guests in public?

There is no other reason than interest.

Because there is no invoice, merchants can pay less taxes, customers can also pay less, and the transaction can be more successful. For merchants and customers, it is a "win-win" choice. Which side will lose?

What is lost is actually the national tax revenue. If merchants and customers reach an agreement, they actually divide up the national tax.

The tax bureau is also very clear about this, cracking down on two sets of accounts, strictly checking the collection of private accounts, and adopting the method of "controlling taxes by votes" in practice to crack down on this behavior.

After talking about the reasons behind the extra cost of invoicing, let's talk about why it costs more to open special tickets than ordinary tickets.

At that time, because in some cases, opening ordinary tickets is tax-free, and opening special tickets is not tax-free, so opening special tickets requires more taxes, and naturally it is necessary to increase money.

I also discussed in the previous article whether it is cheap or expensive to buy goods without invoices. You can read my previous article to understand. In order to save money, you don't need an invoice when purchasing, but the actual cost is high and the risk is still great.

Generally speaking, companies should ask suppliers to issue invoices, but try their best to issue special tickets.

For individuals, forming the habit of asking for invoices is equivalent to contributing to the national tax cause.

For companies that don't keep accounts, file tax returns and invoice, this desperate tax evasion method is not a long-term solution. To become a bigger and stronger enterprise, it is ultimately necessary to standardize management. At this time, irregular behavior will be returned in the future. As the saying goes, you have to pay it back sooner or later, but you can still cherish it.
