Guidelines for Generating China VAT Transactions

Note:

This feature requires the China Localization SuiteApp.

The VAT Transactions follow set rules and NetSuite China Localization automatically applies them when generating your VAT transactions:

Each invoice has an eight-line limit. If Sales List isn't enabled, NetSuite splits the transactions across two vouchers. For more information, see Using Sales Lists in China VAT Invoices.
VAT Invoices are split if the amount exceeds the China Max VAT Invoice Amount for the subsidiary. See Setting the China Max VAT Invoice Amount
When issuing Special VAT Invoices, the customer must have a bank account defined. This can be set in the China VAT subtab of the Customer Entity record. See Setting Up China Bank Account Name.
Discounts are counted and printed as a separate line in the Golden Tax System.
Shipping and handling costs appear on a separate line.

Data governance limits apply when you generate VAT transactions. These include:

The Generate China VAT Transactions page can show up to 10,000 lines or 200 invoices, whichever comes first.
There is an export time out of 20 minutes after clicking Refresh.
When importing VAT Invoices from the China Golden Tax system, there's a limit of 50 invoices per file. For more information, see Importing VAT Transactions from the China Golden Tax System.
