Tax Related Laws & Regulations

Tax Act:
Regulations Governing the Use of Uniform Invoices
Article 20
Content:
In the event of sales return, swap, or allowance after the issuance of uniform invoices, business entities selling the goods or services shall complete the requirements set forth below upon the occurrence of such events. And for swaps, business entities shall reissue a new uniform invoice in the actual amount of the goods swapped with the purchaser.
1. With a business entity as purchaser:
(1) Where the sales amount for the issued uniform invoice has not yet been declared, business entities shall retrieve the receipt and deduction copies of the original invoice and attach them onto the retention copy of the same invoice with the word “nullified” added. Where the original uniform invoice contains the name and uniform serial number of the purchaser, purchaser’s certificate of sales return, purchase return or allowances on purchased merchandise may suffice.
(2) Where the sales amount for the issued uniform invoice has been declared, purchaser's certificate of sales return, purchase return or allowances on purchased merchandise is required; such a case however shall be limited to instances where the original uniform invoices contain the name and uniform serial number of the purchaser. 
2. With a non-business entity as purchaser:
(1) Where the sales amount for the issued uniform invoice has not yet been declared, business entities shall retrieve the receipt copy of the original invoice and attach it onto the retention copy of the same invoice with the word “nullified” added.
(2) Where the sales amount for the issued uniform invoice has been declared, business entities shall obtain the purchaser's certificate of sales return, purchase return or allowances on purchased merchandise, and shall in addition thereto, retrieve the receipt copy of the original uniform invoice issued. Where the retrieval of the receipt copy is not possible, a copy of said receipt copy may be used in replacement. In the event that both parties have established a sale and purchase agreement and where the original uniform invoice contains the name and address of the purchaser, the retrieval of the receipt copy of the original uniform invoice is not necessary.
The certificate of sales return, purchase return or allowances on purchased merchandise set forth in the preceding paragraph shall contain four copies of a same form, with the first and second copies for use by the business entity selling the goods or services as output tax deduction declaration and accounting voucher respectively, and the third and fourth copies for use by the purchaser as input tax deduction declaration and accounting voucher respectively.
