Under what circumstances do software enterprises issue zero-tax invoices?

Generally, the software industry does not belong to the scope of tax exemption, and invoices with tax rate of 0 cannot be issued.

If you sell your own software, you must issue an invoice at the applicable tax rate of 17%, and then you can enjoy the preferential tax refund policy for the part with the actual tax rate exceeding 3%.

Taxpayers sell goods and services at zero tax rate. When issuing invoices, VAT invoices can be issued at zero tax rate.

Article 4 of the Announcement on Adjusting the Face Content of Uniform Sales Invoice issued by State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China (State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China Announcement No.2065438+No.27, 2004) stipulates that taxpayers selling goods exempted from value-added tax should select "0" in the column of "VAT rate or collection rate" of uniform invoices for goods sales when issuing them through the tax control system of uniform invoices for machine goods sales, which is equivalent to clearly stipulating that invoices for tax-free items should be filled in.
