Invoicing: According to the collected information and the determined invoice content, the landlord uses the invoicing software provided by the tax department or goes to the tax bureau window to issue invoices.
Give the invoice to the tenant: the landlord will give the invoice to the tenant as proof of collecting the rent.
Third, matters needing attention
