How to Issue Invoices for Mobile Toilet Rentals
Admin October 11, 2026
Issuing invoices for mobile toilet rentals requires following standardized procedures based on customer needs and rental conditions, as detailed below:

1. Determine Invoice Type
Select the invoice type based on whether the customer needs to deduct input tax:
- Value-Added Tax (VAT) Special Invoice: Applicable when the customer needs to deduct input tax. Ensure the rental party has general taxpayer status and that the tax rate (usually 6%, subject to actual rates) is clearly specified in the contract.
- Regular Invoice: Suitable for customers who do not need to deduct input tax. The cost typically includes taxes, with no additional charges.
2. Prepare Invoice Documentation
Gather the following materials in advance to ensure accurate information:
- Rental Equipment Information: Include brand, model, quantity, unit price, etc., matching the contract details.
- Rental Contract: Clearly specify the rental period, cost breakdown (e.g., equipment rental fees, transportation fees, installation fees), and special terms (e.g., night service fees, emergency additional equipment fees).
- Identification Documents: Individual customers should provide a copy of their ID card; corporate customers should provide a copy of their business license and taxpayer identification number.
3. Fill Out Invoice Information
Complete the following details on the invoice:
- Invoice Title: Must exactly match the company name or personal name provided by the customer.
- Invoice Content: Can be issued as 'Mobile Toilet Rental Fee' or detailed by equipment (e.g., 'XX Brand Mobile Toilet Rental').
- Rental Period and Amount: Clearly state the start and end dates, unit price, and total amount. If taxes are involved, indicate separately (e.g., 'tax-inclusive price' or 'tax amount').
- Tax Rate: Select the applicable tax rate based on the invoice type (e.g., 6% for VAT special invoices, possibly tax-exempt or 3% simplified taxation for regular invoices).
4. Verification and Issuance
- Information Verification: Before issuing, confirm the taxpayer identification number, amount, tax rate, etc., are correct to avoid invoice cancellation due to errors.
- Issuance Method:
- Self-Issuance: If the rental party has invoicing qualifications, issue directly through the tax system and affix the invoice special seal.
- Tax Bureau Issuance: If lacking invoicing qualifications, apply for issuance at the tax bureau with the contract, identification documents, etc.
5. Delivery and Acknowledgment
- Invoice Delivery: Provide the original invoice to the customer and retain a delivery record (e.g., acknowledgment slip, electronic receipt).
- Stub Retention: Safely store the invoice stub and contract copy for tax inspection purposes.
Special Scenario Tips:
- Quantity Discounts: For rentals of 10 or more units, negotiate invoice fee reductions or tax inclusion.
- Additional Service Fees: Fees for night transportation, emergency additional equipment, etc., should be clearly stated in the contract regarding whether they are included in the invoice amount.
- Hunan Region Rules: Daily rental fees are approximately 200-500 yuan per unit. Issuing VAT special invoices may incur an additional 6% tax; confirm pricing standards with the rental party in advance.
