Unified Invoice Requirement for Business Closure: Inventory and Asset Settlement

  • When a business closes, if it uses inventory and assets to pay off debts or distribute to shareholders or contributors, it must issue a unified invoice.
  • When a profit-making business closes, if it uses inventory and fixed assets to offset debts and distribute to shareholders or contributors, it must issue a unified invoice based on the market value to pay business tax.
  • The Kaohsiung National Taxation Bureau of the Ministry of Finance gave an example of a company using inventory and a small truck to offset debts when closing, and failing to issue an invoice, resulting in a penalty for not reporting and paying business tax.
  • The bureau reminds businesses to promptly issue and report any missing invoices before being caught by the tax authorities to avoid penalties under the Tax Collection Act.
