to apply for a 17% VAT stamp is to apply for recognition as a general taxpayer. For newly-established small business enterprises, they must apply for general taxpayer qualification only after the actual sales amount reaches 1.8 million yuan within one year from the date of tax registration. The tax authorities shall review and evaluate the application materials, actual operation and tax declaration of the enterprise, and only after it is confirmed that it is correct can it be recognized as a general taxpayer, and a tax counseling period management system shall be implemented. After the counseling period is over, with the approval of the competent tax authorities, it can be turned into a formal general taxpayer and managed according to the normal general taxpayer.

for a new large and medium-sized commercial and snack enterprise with a fixed business place and goods, with a registered capital of more than 5 million yuan and more than 51 employees, if an application for general taxpayer qualification is made, if it is confirmed by the competent authority that it meets the prescribed conditions, it can be directly recognized as a general taxpayer, and the general taxpayer management will not be implemented during the tutorial period.

for a newly-established business enterprise with a certain business scale, a fixed business place, corresponding management personnel, a contract or written intention for the purchase and sale of goods, a clear channel for the purchase and sale of goods (the supplier's certificate), and an estimated annual sales of more than 1.8 million yuan, it can be identified as a general taxpayer after examination and approval by the competent authority, and the general taxpayer management will be implemented during the counseling period.

The above are three ways for enterprises to enter the general taxpayer. You can determine the time to identify the general taxpayer if you see which standard your company can meet. Generally speaking, as long as the accounts are clear and can accurately calculate the purchase, sale and deposit, it is still simple to identify the general taxpayer.
