after the opening of the maoxian high-speed railway, the demand for taxi invoices has also increased. photo by xu hui, a reporter from the paper

when taking a taxi in maoxian county, aba prefecture, sichuan province, it is difficult for passengers to get an invoice on the spot. instead, they have to add the relevant person in charge of the taxi company on wechat and provide personal information, and then the taxi company will apply for an invoice from the tax department.

on september 6, a staff member of the maoxian taxation bureau confirmed to the paper that taxi drivers in the county have indeed stopped using hand-torn invoices and all invoices must be machine-printed. another relevant person in charge of the bureau said that if there are any inconveniences or unreasonable situations, they will require rectification or report to higher authorities.

the head of a taxi company in maoxian told the paper (www.thepaper.cn) on september 5 that according to the county's unified requirements, hand-torn tickets were no longer used half a year ago, and their taxis are not equipped with equipment to print invoices. if passengers need taxi invoices for reimbursement, they must provide their unit tax information, id number, and name, and then the taxi company will apply to the tax department. this is the same requirement throughout the county. if you are not a unit reimbursement and you need a taxi ticket, you only need to provide your id number and name.

a taxi driver in mao county gave the paper a detailed account of the current invoicing process: if a customer wants an invoice for reimbursement, the driver must first provide the customer with the phone number and wechat of the person in charge of the taxi company, and the driver will report the last digit of the customer's mobile phone number to the company. after the customer adds the wechat of the person in charge of the taxi company's invoicing, he or she must provide the taxi company with the company's tax information, personal name, and id number in accordance with the requirements of ordinary vat invoices before the invoice can be issued. if you take a taxi after get off work, you have to wait until the next day when you go to work to get the invoice.

the paper noted that compared to the accommodation invoices provided by hotels, the invoices issued by maoxian taxi company also have the name of the traveler, part of the id number and other information in the lower column. although the relevant regulations only require taxis to provide legal bill vouchers, it does not specify in what form they are provided. however, the taxi industry across the country provides bill services to customers in the simplest and fastest form. at present, two service modes are generally chosen. one is the hand-torn invoices carried by taxis. customers ask the driver for them on demand, and the driver provides the corresponding invoice to the customer based on the actual consumption amount. this is the bill service method commonly used by the taxi industry in small and medium-sized cities or remote counties. the other is the on-board machine-printed invoice. the billing system automatically prints the reimbursement voucher after the customer gets off the car based on the time and place of the customer's boarding. the ticket only states the boarding time, mileage and cost, and does not require the customer to provide relevant information such as name, phone number, id number, etc. this is the method currently used by the taxi industry in large cities, and it is also a reimbursement voucher generally recognized by various companies and units. both methods are simple and fast.

for a county that has already entered the era of high-speed rail, maoxian has chosen a relatively inefficient model that is difficult for taxi companies, drivers and customers to accept. "moreover, excessive requests for passengers' identity information will also bring risks of privacy leakage," said a passenger who was quite dissatisfied with this.

a person in charge of maoxian xiqiang taxi co., ltd. told the paper that many passengers have complained about this situation and he is also very distressed. he has gone to the tax department many times to report that this practice is unreasonable. relevant staff also said that they would report the problem to the higher authorities, but the problem has not been resolved so far.

the person in charge said that before, local people in maoxian rarely asked for taxi invoices when taking a taxi, but now that the high-speed rail has been opened, more people choose to take the high-speed rail to transfer from maoxian, and the demand for invoices is increasing. however, the current way of issuing invoices is too much for him to deal with and is very troublesome.

on september 6, a staff member of the maoxian taxation bureau confirmed to the paper that taxis in the county have indeed stopped using hand-torn invoices and all invoices must be machine-printed. "to issue an invoice, you must provide the real-name information of the individual and the unit," the staff member said.

later, the paper contacted another person in charge of taxi-related work at the maoxian taxation bureau, who verified the situation and told the paper that he personally felt that this was very troublesome and unreasonable, and would urge the taxi company to make corrections. if it was the taxation bureau's fault, he would also report the situation to higher authorities.
