How to Issue an Invoice for Expressway ETC?
2 Answers
Methods for issuing an invoice for expressway ETC: Log in to the Electronic Invoice Service Platform for Toll Road Fees or download the PiaoGen APP, select the recharge or toll fee consumption transaction records for which you need to issue an invoice, and follow the on-screen instructions to issue the electronic invoice yourself. The following is an introduction to ETC: 1. Definition of ETC: ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) is an automatic toll collection system for expressways or bridges. 2. Principle of ETC: Through dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, it uses computer networking technology to perform background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through expressway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay toll fees.
As a seasoned driver who frequently travels on business, I've handled ETC invoicing multiple times. Simply put, it's done through the official app. First, you need to download the China ETC app or the relevant bank app, register an account, and log in after binding your ETC card number. In the personal center, find the 'Travel Records' section, select the trip date and toll entry for which you need an invoice, and click the 'Apply for Invoice' button. Pay attention to selecting the invoice type, such as a general VAT invoice or an electronic invoice, and fill in the header information correctly, whether it's a personal name or company name, to avoid errors and having to start over. Once generated by the system, a download link or QR code will be displayed, which you can save to your phone or computer for printing a paper version for reimbursement. Timing-wise, it's best to act soon after passing through, as some provinces and cities impose time limits on invoicing, such as within a week, after which it becomes troublesome. The advantage of ETC is saving time by avoiding queues at manual toll booths for invoices, and it allows tracking of historical records to prevent omissions. The entire process is intuitive within the app and takes no more than five minutes—newcomers will quickly appreciate the convenience.
