Invoice Issuing for Mobile Toilet Rental

The process of issuing invoices for mobile toilet rentals requires determining costs, types, and procedures based on specific circumstances. Key points are as follows:

I. Invoice Types and Costs Invoices for mobile toilet rentals are categorized into Value-Added Tax (VAT) Special Invoices and Regular Invoices. When issuing a regular VAT invoice, the cost typically includes taxes. If a VAT special invoice is required, additional taxes may be charged (e.g., in Hunan, a 6% tax may be added for daily rentals, subject to the actual tax rate). Issuing the invoice itself is generally not charged separately, but individuals or small-scale enterprises renting may need to pay additional taxes. For formal company collaborations, taxes may already be included in the quoted price. It is recommended to confirm with the rental provider in advance whether taxes are included.

II. Invoicing Rules for Different Billing Methods

1. Billing by Rental Duration:
   • For short-term events (1-3 days), billing is done on a daily basis, and the invoice type (regular or special) must be specified when issuing the invoice. For long-term projects (over 1 month), monthly settlement can be negotiated, potentially enjoying package discounts.
   • Regional differences: In Hunan, the daily rental cost is approximately 200-500 yuan per unit. In Jingdezhen, the cost for a regular type is about 100-200 yuan per day, and for a luxury type, it is 200-300 yuan per day, varying based on configuration.
2. Billing by Quantity: When renting a large number of units (e.g., over 10 in Hunan), some rental providers may waive invoicing fees or offer discounts. For example, in Hunan, when renting over 20 units, the base cost may directly include taxes. It is necessary to negotiate the relationship between quantity and invoice costs in advance.

III. Invoicing for Additional Fees in Special Scenarios If the rental involves special services (e.g., nighttime transportation, emergency additions), additional fees may be incurred (e.g., a 30% service fee for nighttime operations). Whether these additional fees are included in the invoice amount must be clearly stipulated in the contract to avoid subsequent disputes.

IV. Invoicing Process and Precautions

1. Process: Confirm requirements → Sign the contract → Pay the rent → Apply for invoicing after the rental period ends.
2. Precautions:
   • Provide accurate taxpayer identification numbers, company names, and other information to avoid invalid invoices due to incorrect information.
   • For special requirements (e.g., customized mobile toilets), costs may increase, and the invoice must clearly specify the details.

V. Tax-Related Information Mobile toilet rental falls under the category of “operating lease” for tax purposes. The lessor is required to pay the following taxes:

1. Property Tax: If the mobile toilet is considered real estate and the lessor owns the property rights, a 12% tax is levied on the rental income (subject to interpretation by local tax authorities).
2. Stamp Duty: Both the lessor and lessee affix a stamp at a rate of 0.1% of the contract amount.
3. Income Tax: Corporate lessors include rental income in their taxable income and pay corporate income tax. Individual lessors pay personal income tax at a rate of 20%.
