Electronic invoicing
Requirement
Taiwan mandated the online Government Uniform Invoices (GUIs) at the start of 2019. This includes non-resident VAT-registered businesses.
The government issues VAT-registered businesses with GUI numbers every two months. These are based on:
- Type of invoice
- Location of the business
- Month of issuance
In addition to domestic sellers, registered nonresident electronic service (e-service) providers may also be required to issue electronic invoices for their supplies of products and services that are made to Taiwanese individuals after 1 January 2019.
M3 solution
Invoicing is probably the function in M3 that is most affected by localization rules. Electronic invoices are handled using LSP and can be delivered using standard formats.
Certain countries have rules that force the invoices to be sent via a portal managed by the government or that all invoices must be upload to that portal.
In Taiwan – all invoices must be sent via the GUI portal. Electronic invoices are handled using LSP in this format: A0101 Invoice
The Invoice message is about the uniform invoice that a seller issues to a buyer for the goods or services he sells. The seller uploads the invoice issued to the e-Invoice Platform and this message is sent to the buyer. This message is a B2B message that is used for information exchange between business entities.
