Yes, electronic invoices don't need to be stamped with an invoice special stamp, which is used in different ways depending on the type of electronic invoice. For ordinary electronic invoices, one type is automatically overprinted with the taxpayer's invoice special stamp when it is generated, and does not need to be additionally stamped; the other is the new version of electronic ordinary invoices, which itself does not come with an invoice special stamp, and does not need to be additionally stamped by the taxpayer. As for the VAT electronic special invoices, neither the special invoice stamp is overprinted, nor does it need to be additionally stamped.

The new version of e-invoice is issued by taxpayers through the VAT e-invoice public **** service platform, and the e-invoice layout file can be obtained by downloading, QR code, sending emails and other means. The e-invoice adopts an electronic signature instead of the original invoice seal, and the validity can be verified through the national VAT invoice verification platform. Therefore, the e-invoice does not need to be stamped with the special invoice seal.

Is the e-invoice a special invoice or a general invoice?

Private invoice. General invoice refers to the receipt and payment vouchers issued and collected in the purchase and sale of goods, provision or acceptance of services and engagement in other business activities. In contrast to VAT special invoices, ordinary invoices are applicable to all kinds of receipt and payment vouchers issued and collected by any unit or individual in business activities, except for VAT special invoices issued and collected by general VAT taxpayers.
