They are the gold standard for a business\u2019s taxable income \u2013 and for this reason, many accountants do their bookkeeping based solely on <em>fapiaos<\/em>. This method of accounting does not require the accountant to do much in terms of actually understanding the business, as everything they need for bookkeeping is printed on the <em>fapiao<\/em>. This does however tend to create problems for businesses down the road as they attempt to grow.<\/p>\n<p><em>Fapiao<\/em> accounting refers to the method that solely recognises revenue and costs based on available <em>fapiaos<\/em>. The accountant receives input <em>fapiaos<\/em> (moneys receivable) and output <em>fapiaos<\/em> (moneys payable) and from there they generate the required financial statements and calculate a business\u2019s tax liability.<\/p>\n<p><em>Fapiao<\/em> accounting exists because it is the simplest way to meet tax compliance requirements in China. This article demonstrates the impact that the accounting method used to meet compliance requirement can have on a business\u2019s ability to grow and pinpoints the root cause of those problems.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Incorrect accounting balances<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not enough for managers to look at their bank balance to make important financial decisions. They need to understand much more in order to comprehend their current position and future cash flow requirements. Only by doing this can they gain an accurate picture of their business and access the valuable information needed as the basis of future management decisions.<\/p>\n<p>When an accountant performs bookkeeping on the basis of <em>fapiao<\/em>, the figures on the balance sheet are distorted, most often exaggerating the company\u2019s profit for a given period. This is because of the inherent delay to the receipt of input <em>fapiaos<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone expects <em>fapiaos<\/em> to be issued immediately, thereby recognising revenue and increasing a business\u2019s tax liability. However, crafty suppliers in China will often manage their own tax liability by delaying their <em>fapiaos<\/em>. They will often delay issuing <em>fapiaos<\/em> across multiple accounting periods in order to control their revenue.<\/p>\n<p>Accountants are therefore forced to recognise revenue without the expenses to reconcile them with. The revenue gets recognised immediately on the Profit and Loss statement \u2013 incurring corporate income tax if the business is profitable \u2013 whereas the deductible expense will be recognised at a later date, only once the accountant has received the input <em>fapiao<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>For compliance purposes, some delay is acceptable since the tax authorities are aware of your net tax liability at any given time. However, the biggest cost to businesses is often not having an accurate balance sheet to make important financial decisions. <em>Fapiao<\/em> accounting can lead to a series of inaccuracies in figures that render them useless for management.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Rarely do businesses or the accountants have procedures in place to correct these kinds of problems, which allows them to compound over time<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Accounting based on <em>fapiaos<\/em> also makes reconciling transactions difficult. Without information on a business\u2019s activity, accountants can struggle to reconcile bulk payments, pre-payments or other transactions that might vary slightly from the <em>fapiaos<\/em> that were issued. As more time passes, this becomes increasingly difficult.<\/p>\n<p>Rarely do businesses or the accountants have procedures in place to correct these kinds of problems, which allows them to compound over time. This then increases the likelihood that an accountant might re-issue <em>fapiaos<\/em> for payments that were never reconciled, leading to further tax management problems down the line.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4181\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4181\" class=\"wp-image-4181 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_697898521-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tax and accounting\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_697898521-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_697898521-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_697898521-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_697898521-1-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_697898521-1-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4181\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fapiao tax accounting might be simpler for the accountant but it could damage your business<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Tax Management<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Accounting on the basis of <em>fapiao<\/em> removes many of the tools accountants have to advise managers on how to best manage their business\u2019s tax liability. Managers might find that their profits vary significantly between financial quarters; meaning that they may pay income tax early, which then needs to be claimed back, and large amounts of VAT might be paid compared to other businesses in the same industry.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, one of the most common tax management problems hurting small businesses is one that is most likely to affect those businesses who struggle to bring in a profit. For small businesses who perform bookkeeping on the basis of <em>fapiao<\/em>, a spike in revenue when a company issues a large <em>fapiao<\/em> for goods or services might cause it to be significantly more profitable over a single financial quarter than over the financial year.<\/p>\n<p>If the profits of one financial quarter are offset by losses in another, the company must claim back the corporate income tax. This process can be time-consuming and requires the business to provide proof to the tax bureau that the business did indeed lose money. By not involving the accountant before transactions takes place, the accountant is unable to accrue expenses over a period of time and avoid such revenue spikes.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Additional tax liability<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Deducting input VAT in China comes with a couple of requirements; the supplier must be a \u201cgeneral taxpayer\u201d and they must issue a special VAT <em>fapiao<\/em> \u2013 as opposed to a normal <em>fapiao<\/em> \u2013 along with all the necessary supporting documents.<\/p>\n<p>For a supplier to issue a special <em>fapiao<\/em>, they need to include more information about your business on the <em>fapiao<\/em> such as; bank name, bank branch name, account number and company address. Non-finance people often neglect the difference between these two types of <em>fapiao,<\/em> which can lead to a significantly higher tax liability. (Tip: Special VAT <em>fapiaos<\/em> are green in color and normal <em>fapiaos<\/em> are red).<\/p>\n<p>When an outside accountant is simply given a <em>fapiao<\/em>, they are unable to determine whether the supplier is a General Tax Payer, or a Small-Scale Tax Payer. Most accountants simply book the <em>fapiao<\/em> they are given \u2013 no questions asked \u2013 often raising the tax liability of the business unnecessarily when a special VAT <em>fapiao<\/em> should have been requested.<\/p>\n<p>In case a business fails to collect all the supporting documents for <em>fapiaos<\/em> booked by the accountant, the expense is considered unqualified. For a standard service expense, the tax liability of the business will increase by around 35 percent (16 percent VAT + 25 percent Corporate Income Tax) of the cost; i.e. for a RMB 10,000 <em>fapiao<\/em>, the business would be liable to pay an additional RMB 3,589.74 in tax.<\/p>\n<p>Managers can easily diagnose some of the problems businesses face as a result of <em>fapiao<\/em> accounting, such as the lack of accurate financial data. Other issues, such as those affecting the business\u2019s cash flow and tax liability, are not so easily traced back to <em>fapiao<\/em> accounting.<\/p>\n<p>Establishing whether their accountant is capable of working closely with the business and advising managers on the accounting implications of their decisions is an integral part of solving such problems. From there, managers are able to evaluate what actions are necessary to ensure their business stays on track.<\/p>\n<p><em>Valur Blomsterberg is the marketing director of cloud accounting company, Megi Software<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fapiao accounting could be limiting your business growth, writes Valur Blomsterberg In China, fapiaos (the official receipts that are issued and received for goods or services provided) are the most important document for tax reporting.
