Verify VAT invoice authenticity. Enter the invoice code, number, and key details to instantly get validation results.
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
This lookup is for invoice information from China, commonly called a fapiao. Enter details from the document to request a comparison record from the connected provider. The form requires invoice number, issue date and amount; invoice code and verification code are optional. It does not scan images, so copy the fields yourself.
The form and selected result labels are in English, but provider records may remain in Chinese. Returned details can include a comparison result, invoice status, buyer and seller, tax figures, remarks and item lines; only fields returned by the provider appear. “Consistent” describes the response to the submitted fields. It is not independent certification of the invoice or transaction.
The form instructs users to enter the total including tax for a fully digitalized invoice and the amount excluding tax for other invoice types. These amounts are different: the first includes tax, while the second is before tax. If the invoice type or amount is unclear, confirm it from the document or applicable official guidance before submitting.
China’s official verification platform publishes its own instructions, which show that input fields can vary by invoice type. Those instructions describe the official platform only; they do not establish this lookup’s provider coverage or limits.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Enter the invoice number and issue date as yyyy-MM-dd, such as 2024-08-15. Use a real calendar date. Invoice code is optional and recommended for invoices other than fully digitalized ones.
Use exactly two decimal places. Enter the tax-inclusive total for a fully digitalized invoice, or the pre-tax amount for other types. The verification code is optional; the form recommends it except for special VAT invoices. Copy it as printed.
After checking, compare the number, date, amount and status with the source invoice. If available, also compare buyer, seller, tax amounts and item lines. You can copy the displayed summary for review.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
A finance reviewer can compare returned parties and amounts with an authorized China invoice and its related order documents.
Recheck the copied number, date and amount convention. Keep a discrepancy open until the source document or an appropriate official channel clarifies it.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
Use the tax-inclusive total for a fully digitalized invoice and the pre-tax amount for other types, as the form instructs. Confirm the type if it is unclear.
No. It is the provider’s response to the submitted fields. Separately check that the parties, items, amounts and transaction documents match, and apply your organization’s relevant rules.
Provider records may retain their original language even though the form and selected result labels are English. Compare original characters when names or item descriptions matter.
Check each digit, date format and amount convention. A failed request or missing record is inconclusive; use China’s official tax service or contact the relevant tax authority for authoritative follow-up.
