Usually, you need to provide a copy of the tax registration certificate; a page stamped with the "VAT General Taxpayer" seal, or the "General Taxpayer Recognition Notice" issued by the State Tax Bureau, as well as a copy of the bank account opening license. Invoice: An invoice refers to the business documents issued and received by all units and individuals in the purchase and sale of goods, provision or receipt of services, and other business activities. It serves as the original basis for accounting and is also an important basis for law enforcement inspections by audit authorities and tax authorities. A receipt is a payment voucher, while an invoice only proves the occurrence of a business transaction, not whether the payment has been made. Regular Invoice: Mainly used by business tax payers and small-scale VAT taxpayers, general VAT taxpayers can also use regular invoices when they are unable to issue special invoices.

As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I've been through the process of getting invoices at gas stations many times. The required information mainly includes the full name of the company and the taxpayer identification number, which must be provided exactly as they appear; followed by the detailed address and contact number, and sometimes even the bank name and account number. Why such detailed information? Because it's related to the validity of the value-added tax invoice—even a minor discrepancy can affect reimbursement or tax processing. I make it a habit to save this information in my phone's memo app, so I can quickly retrieve it before each refueling, avoiding the hassle of filling it out on the spot. Common issues include entering the wrong tax number or incomplete addresses, so I advise my friends to double-check before submitting. Additionally, gas station policies vary, so calling ahead can save time. Ensuring the accuracy of the information makes the whole process smoother, especially for business trips.

As someone constantly on the road for business, fuel receipts are crucial. Basic requirements include providing the company or organization name, accurate tax ID number, and address with phone number; some gas stations may also request bank details to complete the invoice information. This isn't just for reimbursement purposes—it's about tax compliance, as missing information could lead to future complications or even failed tax refunds. On a related note, I've found carrying a company information card very handy; a common mistake is using abbreviated names which may invalidate the receipt, so always use the full official name. Maintaining complete documentation is a smart practice that saves you from unnecessary back-and-forth later.

Getting a fuel invoice is quite simple: just provide the company name and tax ID. The address and phone number are usually necessary as well. I always prepare them in advance on my phone and quickly provide them when refueling to avoid delays in the queue. Accuracy is key—if even one character in the tax ID is wrong, the invoice becomes invalid. Staying efficient is the most important thing.
