This means that, as long as the construction material procurement unit to project to the tax in accordance with the simple calculation, construction enterprises provide 3% value-added tax invoice.

The notice stipulates that: according to the current regulations, the value added tax shall be paid in the place where the construction services are paid. When the taxpayer receives the advance payment, the VAT will be paid in advance in the construction service. In accordance with the current regulations, no value added tax is required in the place of construction services, and the taxpayer receives the VAT in the location of the institution when the payment is received. " Although enterprises want to be able to pay taxes at the same place, in fact, enterprises enjoy the services provided by the building services and should be taxed.
