Tax officials in Yuexi County, Anhui recently piloted pay-and-invoice automation for agricultural purchases, issuing the county's first digital invoice for tea buying. Tea is a pillar of local income and rural revitalisation in the Dabie Mountains, but purchases are seasonal, numerous and scattered: farmers were unfamiliar with invoicing procedures, tea firms spent hours issuing invoices one by one and often made mistakes, and the tax bureau struggled to check goods, money and invoice flows together. During the pilot, officials visited tea gardens and collection sites to coach enterprise staff on the system and set up a standing service mechanism to gather feedback. Now an invoice is generated automatically once payment is made, so farmers get a compliant receipt without visiting a tax hall and the process is more transparent. All data is retained, traceable and archived, aligning money, goods and invoice flows, cutting invoice risk and moving the local tea industry from rough production and sales toward refined compliance.

Yuexi, Anqing: Digital Invoicing Comes to the Tea Country
The Yuexi County tax bureau in Anhui has piloted pay-and-invoice automation for agricultural purchases, issuing the county's first fully digital invoice for tea buying. Tea is a pillar of rural income in the Dabie Mountains, but seasonal, scattered purchases made invoicing slow and error-prone, with the tax authority unable to verify transaction, payment and invoice flows together. Under the pilot, officials coached enterprise staff at tea gardens and collection points and set up an ongoing support mechanism. Payment now triggers an automatic invoice, farmers receive compliant receipts without visiting a tax hall, and the whole process is traceable and archived, aligning goods, money and invoice flows.
