Case:

Due to dissatisfaction with the property management of the community, the property management company sued the owner who owed money to the court. Recently, a defendant, the owner of the second phase of Qiaolinyuan, Tianhe North Road, Tianhe District, posted on the Internet and publicly accused the property management company, which aroused strong social concern.

It is found that the property management company listed by the owner manages all kinds of chaos, but it also exposes a problem that has been ignored by everyone-the property management fee cannot be invoiced. "For more than ten years, the community has collected property management fees and only issued receipts without invoices!" The owner said that she had stopped paying the property management fee for nearly two years.

Owners neglect to ask for invoices, and property management companies will not take the initiative to issue invoices. Moreover, it is not easy for the owner to take the initiative to ask for an invoice.

Mr. Yang, who lives in Xiangyang Road Holiday Garden in Conghua, told reporters helplessly that his community only gave receipts for a long time without issuing invoices. In June last year, community owners began to refuse to pay property management fees. Later, due to frequent water and power cuts, it had to be replaced. Finally, after media reports and complaints from owners to Guangzhou tax, the situation did not improve until the end of last year.

According to the reporter's understanding, there are two main ways to collect residential property management fees: bank withholding and on-site payment. According to the regulations, under normal circumstances, banks must send bills and invoices back to the owners when withholding property fees; For on-site payment, property management should take the initiative to issue invoices.

The reporter also learned from the local tax department that according to the regulations, the property management company should take the initiative to issue invoices for the residents of the community if the amount exceeds 10 yuan. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a violation, and the local tax department will punish the property management company after verification. If the property management company refuses to provide a formal invoice or add money to the invoice, the owner has the right to refuse to pay.

The reporter also learned from online channels that some property management companies even require owners to pay about 5% tax points before agreeing to issue invoices when collecting property management fees.
