Guangxi's transport, finance and tax departments issued a joint notice: from September 7, mixed lanes at highway toll stations in the region started using electronic invoices, officially moving tolls into the era of electronic receipts. September 7 to October 31 is a transition period in which both electronic and paper receipts are available for cash and mobile payments, with electronic receipts as the default; drivers who want paper can ask staff at payment, but they must choose one or the other. From November 1 all receipts will be electronic and no paper receipts will be handed out on site. After paying, drivers can search for the Gui Xiaotong mini-program on WeChat and issue the receipt themselves. Electronic receipts can be retrieved at any time, are easy to file and hard to lose, and work for reimbursement just like paper ones, though they cannot be used to deduct VAT input tax. The change is part of Guangxi's push towards smart transportation and should let vehicles clear toll booths faster and reduce queues.

Guangxi Highways Fully Roll Out Electronic Toll Invoices from September 7
Guangxi's transport, finance and tax authorities jointly announced that from September 7, 2026 electronic toll invoices are being used in mixed lanes at highway toll stations, moving highway tolls into the era of electronic receipts. The reform runs in two phases: from September 7 to October 31 the electronic and paper receipts run in parallel for cash and mobile-payment tolls, with electronic receipts as the default and only one option allowed; from November 1 paper receipts will no longer be issued on site. Drivers can self-issue receipts through the WeChat mini-program Gui Xiaotong; the electronic receipts are easy to retrieve and archive and are equally valid for reimbursement, though not for VAT input deduction. The move is presented as a step in Guangxi's smart transportation build-out that should shorten toll-booth processing times.
