While the use of electronic invoices brings convenience to users and businesses, the authenticity of electronic invoices has also become a serious topic that puzzles financial personnel. 1. How to query the authenticity of electronic invoices? 1. Check the authenticity of electronic invoices on State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China website 1. Log on to the national VAT invoice inspection platform in State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China, China, at 2. Enter the invoice code, invoice number, invoice date, check code and verification code, and click "Check". Note: The above information is in the upper right corner of the electronic invoice. 3. You can see the invoice inspection details of this electronic invoice, and you can select Print. (2) AdobeReader checks the electronic signature of the invoice 1. Open the PDF file of the electronic invoice with AdobeReader on the computer, click the left mouse button or the right mouse button on the "Special Invoice Seal" in the lower right corner of the electronic invoice, and select "Verify Signature". 2. Click Signature Properties, and then click Show signer certificate. 3. Check the specific information of electronic signature. If it is a real electronic invoice, you can see that the unit of electronic signature is the same as that of the red seal, indicating that the signature is used to issue electronic invoices, and the signature time is the same as the invoice date, so that it can basically be judged that this electronic invoice is true and effective. Second, the characteristics of electronic invoices 1, the issuance of advantageous electronic invoices will greatly save the invoice cost and invoice printing cost of enterprises, and it does not include the indirect cost of invoice management of enterprises. Moreover, the electronic invoice system can be combined with ERP, CRM, SCS and other systems within the enterprise, and the invoice data is completely electronic and centralized, which is helpful to the accounting treatment of the enterprise itself and can provide decision support for the enterprise operators in time. Electronic invoices are more convenient to store, query and access, and also facilitate e-commerce websites to provide consumers with more convenient services. Moreover, it can reduce the waste of paper invoices, reduce deforestation, be more environmentally friendly, and conform to the future development of mankind. The introduction of online invoices is an inevitable way for the state to regulate e-commerce tax payment, which is conducive to the state's supervision of online transactions and to safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. 2. The widespread implementation of inferior electronic invoices will bring a severe test to the price advantage that the online shopping market has always relied on. Many businesses will impose the cost of electronic invoices on consumers, which will eventually lead to an increase in product prices. Some regular e-commerce companies can issue paper invoices, such as JD.COM Mall, Dangdang and Tmall Mall. Although the prices of these products are slightly higher than those of Taobao platform, they give consumers a sense of standardization and more peace of mind. Taobao platform is C2C (person-to-person) mode, because most C2C businesses are not registered in the industrial and commercial departments, so there are obstacles in issuing invoices. But because of this, C2C mode is much less in tax cost than B2C mode, and the price of products is naturally lower. After the popularization of electronic invoices, ordinary C2C merchants will no longer be spared, which will hit the advantages of online shopping with good quality and low price. This also makes people hesitate to support the popularization of electronic invoices, so it took several months after the government issued it, and the merchants officially began to implement it. Although the country has made it clear that the legal effect and basic use of electronic invoices are the same as paper invoices, electronic invoices can also be reimbursed, but the reporter of Beiqing Daily found in the interview that many corporate financial personnel have a headache for electronic invoices. "Because consumers print on their own, there will be differences in paper quality and printing effect, which is equivalent to canceling the physical anti-counterfeiting performance of the original invoice and shifting all the responsibility for identifying authenticity to financial personnel. This responsibility is really too big! " Some corporate financial personnel said that they usually advise employees to choose the merchants who issue ordinary invoices as much as possible, but more and more merchants only provide electronic invoices, and whether to reimburse these invoices often leads to differences between employees and financial personnel. In addition, electronic invoices can be printed repeatedly, which makes how to prevent repeated reimbursement become a problem faced by enterprise financial personnel. The financial personnel of some enterprises have done experiments specially. The same electronic invoice is almost identical to the original invoice after copying. If it is used for repeated reimbursement, the financial staff can't recognize it at all. In this regard, most financial personnel can only take the method of writing down the number of each reimbursed electronic invoice and checking whether this invoice has been reimbursed every time, which undoubtedly increases the work pressure.
