Can the owner refuse to pay the property fee without issuing an invoice?

If the property is not invoiced, you can refuse to pay the fee.

In view of the fact that most property companies use receipts instead of invoices when collecting property management fees, the relevant person in charge of the invoice management office of Huizhou Local Taxation Bureau told reporters that according to relevant regulations, property companies should take the initiative to issue invoices to owners when collecting property management fees. If the tax invoice is not provided, it is suspected of tax evasion.

Consumers demand invoices from operators after consumption, which is not only the maintenance of their legitimate rights and interests, but also the glorious act of protecting national taxes. Therefore, it is natural for owners to ask for invoices from property companies when paying property fees. If citizens fail to ask for an invoice from the property company, they can report to the tax violation reporting center of Huizhou Local Taxation Bureau with the receipt (official seal).

At the same time, for the behavior of some property companies that "5% tax is required to provide invoices", the relevant person in charge of the Charge Management Section of Huizhou Municipal Price Bureau told the reporter that it is appropriate for the property companies to issue invoices after the owners pay the fees. If the "tax point" of the invoice is charged extra, it belongs to arbitrary charges. Once the property company refuses to provide a formal invoice or invoice plus money, the owner has the right to refuse to pay and report to the tax and price departments.

5 cases can refuse to pay property fees.

1, illegal charges

Property companies need to collect property fees in accordance with relevant regulations, and some property companies collect fees at random. In this case, the owner can refuse to pay the excessive property fee, and the property company will never dare to sue you because they are also indefensible. Generally speaking, owners and property companies have signed property service contracts.

If the property management company increases the service items without the consent of the industry committee or the owner, then the owner can refuse to pay the service fee according to this property service contract.

2. The property contract has not been signed.

It is also necessary for the owner to sign a property management contract with the property management company. Without property contract, there is no contractual constraint. In other words, as long as the owners' committee agrees to the terms of the property management agreement and the owners have actually accepted the property services, they should pay the property management company according to the actual service price.

The new house has not been connected yet.

The collection of property fees should also be based on the actual situation of property buyers. Property buyers who purchase new houses are required to collect property fees after delivery. If the house has not been delivered for occupancy, in this case, according to the provisions of the Measures for the Administration of Property Service Charges, the property service fees generally include cleaning and sanitation fees, greening maintenance fees, order maintenance fees, and daily operation and maintenance fees of facilities and equipment used by the property.

4. The former owner of the second-hand house breached the contract.

Bian Xiao needs to remind everyone that if property buyers buy second-hand houses, they must not forget the handover of property fees when buying and selling second-hand houses. The property fee should be calculated after the house is transferred. Buyers and sellers should negotiate the property fee and water and electricity fee clearly when trading. If there is no clear negotiation, the property fee owed by the original owner shall be jointly and severally liable by the owner. However, if both parties agree to pay by the original owner through consultation, the owner may refuse to pay.

5. Without the approval of relevant departments.

Property companies need to go through relevant procedures to collect property fees, provided that they must obtain the original approval documents from the price management department. If the property company does not approve it, the owner will not have to pay the property fee, so the owner can ask the property company to show these documents when paying the property fee to inquire whether the property fee should be paid.
