- Invoices now take the place of official receipts as the primary document to evidence the sale of services
- Taxpayers can no longer issue manual or loose-leaf official receipts for sales of services
- Existing official receipts can be used as supplementary documents or converted to invoices
- Official receipts issued by cash register machines, POS machines, and e-receipting software can also be converted to invoices
