What YOUYI Handles

What YOUYI Handles in Your VAT and Fapiao Workflow

Six specialist modules, applied according to your taxpayer status and transactions. This service covers VAT and fapiao work only — general accounting is a separate service, and it fits a new fapiao setup, a move to digital fapiao, or recurring reconciliation for a company that keeps its own accountant.

Fapiao workflow setup

We review your current fapiao setup and confirm how invoices are requested, issued, delivered and recorded.

Invoice issuance operations

We process issuance requests through your fapiao platform and keep the issued-invoice records. Available invoice types depend on your company's status.

Incoming invoice review

We check received invoices for completeness and consistency and flag items that look wrong.

Invoice-to-record reconciliation

We reconcile issued and received invoices with your sales, purchase and bank records.

VAT data preparation and filing

Within the agreed VAT scope, we prepare the VAT calculation from reconciled data and file the applicable VAT return.

Discrepancy and exception follow-up

We list mismatches and correction items and follow them up with you before the filing.

The Distinction

The Workflow YOUYI Runs and What Depends on Tax Rules

Running the invoice and reconciliation workflow is not the same as controlling the tax outcome.

YOUYI runs the workflow. Tax treatment depends on your status, the transaction and current tax rules.

Client and YOUYI

What We Need From You. What You Receive.

Six inputs specific to VAT and fapiao. Where a record is missing or does not match, we tell you what is needed.

What You Provide

Sales / output invoice information
Supplier / input invoice records
Transaction records and related contracts
Bank or payment evidence, where needed for reconciliation
Current taxpayer and fapiao platform information
Exceptions and adjustments — voids, credit notes and corrections

What You Receive

The reviewed and confirmed fapiao workflow
Processed issued and received invoice records
Invoice data reconciled with your sales, purchase and bank records
A discrepancy list with the action needed on each item
The VAT filing package or filed return, within the agreed scope
A status update: what is complete, open and needed next

Tax treatment depends on your status, the actual transaction, current tax rules and tax authority treatment. YOUYI does not promise authority acceptance, an input VAT credit, a refund or the absence of tax exposure.

Before You Start

Practical VAT & Fapiao Considerations

Three points that shape how the service runs.

Invoice types depend on your status

Available invoice types depend on your company's taxpayer status. YOUYI reviews this before confirming the workflow.

VAT and general accounting are separate

This service covers VAT and fapiao work only. You can use it alongside your own accountant or alongside YOUYI's monthly accounting.

Tax outcomes are not guaranteed

Tax treatment depends on your status, the transaction and current tax rules. YOUYI does not promise authority acceptance, a credit, a refund or the absence of tax exposure.

Buyer Questions

VAT and Fapiao Service FAQ

What does the VAT & fapiao service include?

Fapiao workflow setup, invoice issuance operations, incoming invoice review, invoice-to-record reconciliation, VAT data preparation and filing within the agreed scope, and discrepancy follow-up.

Can YOUYI manage fapiao issuance and reconciliation?

Yes, within the agreed scope. YOUYI processes issuance requests through your fapiao platform, keeps the invoice records and reconciles them with your sales, purchase and bank records.

Can VAT filing be handled without outsourcing all bookkeeping?

Yes, where a VAT-specific scope is agreed. YOUYI works from the records you or your accountant supply. General bookkeeping and recurring tax compliance for the whole company sit in the separate Monthly Accounting & Tax Compliance service.

How does this service work with our monthly accountant?

YOUYI aligns invoice records with the books your accountant maintains, flags mismatches and coordinates the VAT filing inputs, so each side works from the same figures.

Can YOUYI take over an existing VAT / fapiao workflow?

Yes. YOUYI reviews the current setup, any open discrepancies and the platform configuration before agreeing scope, then takes over the agreed work. Cleanup of past periods, if needed, is scoped and quoted separately.

What determines the service scope and quote?

Invoice volume and types, your VAT filing profile, your current fapiao setup, reconciliation complexity, record condition and exception volume. YOUYI confirms a quotation after reviewing your setup.
