The invoice tax point refers to the proportion of tax included in the invoice amount. In China, common types of invoices include ordinary VAT invoices and special VAT invoices. The tax points vary according to different industries and types of goods and services. The following are common tax point classifications:

|---|---|---|
| General VAT invoice | 3%, 6%, 9%, 13% | General taxpayers, small-scale taxpayers |
| Special value-added tax invoice | 13%, 9%, 6% | General taxpayer |
2. How to calculate invoice tax points
The formula for calculating invoice tax points is as follows:
Tax amount = Invoice amount × tax point / (1 + tax point)

| Invoice amount | tax point | Amount of tax |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 yuan | 13% | 1000 × 13% / (1 + 13%) ≈ 115.04 yuan |
