VAT electronic ordinary invoices and electronic special invoices do not need to be stamped with special invoice seals. This is because the electronic invoice already contains the electronic signature generated by the billing system, which has the same legal effect as the special invoice seal on the paper invoice. Taxpayers can issue VAT electronic ordinary invoices through the VAT electronic invoice service platform, and these invoices also use electronic signatures instead of the traditional invoice special seals. In addition, the electronic special invoice simplifies the invoice face style and cancels the original column of "Seller: (Seal)", which is more convenient to issue. Taxpayers can also download the electronic invoice format file reader through the national VAT invoice inspection platform to check the electronic special ticket and verify the validity of the electronic signature.

Invoices issued through the VAT electronic invoice service platform use electronic signatures, which simplifies the invoicing process and cancels the column of "Seller: (Seal)".
