LTL can issue Fapiaos for local courses that are paid for in RMB, but need to strictly follow government guidelines on the process. Important points to pay attention to are:

1) To issue a Fapiao you need to inform your student advisor in writing via email of the exact name the Fapiao should be issued <a href="http://www.old.livethelanguage.cn/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Fapiao.jpg"><img title="Fapiao" alt="" src="http://www.old.livethelanguage.cn/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Fapiao-300x181.jpg" width="300" height="181" /></a>to (抬头). Even a small mistake will mean the Tax Authorities will not accept it. Once a Fapiao has been issued there is no way to return or change it. We therefore only issue Fapiaos once your student advisor received the exact required information (抬头) via email, to avoid mistakes.

2) Chinese tax regulations require that all Fapiaos need to be issued in the same month that payment was received. So please make sure that if you require a Fapiao you inform us of the company name (Chinese: 抬头, Táitóu) in time. If your payment was received after the 25th of a month, we can still issue the Fapiao the next month for you.

3) As in China a Fapiao is not only a legal document but also considered a valuable item, courrier services do not deliver them and they need to be received in person. If you requested a Fapiao and gave us the relevant company name, it will be ready within several days at the LTL school and you can pick it up on the 19th floor from Iris. If you do not have the opportunity to come by the school to pick it up you can ask your teacher to take it with him/her when he/she is next at the school. We will hold on to the Fapiao for two months after issuing it, please make sure you get it in time.
