At present, there is a new invoice method, which has legal effect even if it is not stamped. For example, the VAT electronic ordinary invoice issued by taxpayers through the VAT electronic invoice service platform is not stamped with the special invoice seal, but replaced with an electronic signature. If it belongs to this kind of invoice, it should have legal effect and comply with relevant regulations. If the seller does not generate a signature during the issuance process, contact the relevant service provider for processing; If there is no electronic signature printed by the buyer, first confirm whether there is an electronic signature when the electronic invoice format is opened, and first check whether the computer lacks corresponding controls or system settings, so that the electronic signature cannot be displayed. The electronic invoice issued by British tax is replaced by electronic signature, and there is no special invoice seal in the lower right corner of the electronic invoice page. When receiving such invoices, there is no electronic signature and they can be used normally.
Legal basis: Article 3 of the Measures for the Administration of Invoices in People's Republic of China (PRC).
The term "invoice" as mentioned in these Measures refers to receipts and payments issued and collected in business activities such as buying and selling goods, providing or receiving services.
