문화적 배경
The 'fapiao' system is a central pillar of the Chinese tax system. Historically, some fapiaos even functioned as lottery tickets to encourage consumers to ask for them, helping the government track business revenue. Today, the system is rapidly digitizing, moving from paper booklets to QR codes and WeChat mini-programs.
The 'Tax ID' Secret
If you ask for a fapiao for a company, you MUST have the company's 'Unified Social Credit Code.' Keep it in your phone notes!
The 'No Invoice' Discount
Some small shops might offer you a small discount or a free drink if you agree NOT to take a fapiao. It's a common 'under-the-table' negotiation.

What It Means
You fa piao ma? is your golden ticket to documentation. In English, we often use 'receipt' for everything. In China, there is a big difference between a simple slip of paper and an official tax invoice. This phrase specifically asks for that official document. It is short, punchy, and gets the job done immediately.
How To Use It
You say this right when you are about to pay. Just look at the cashier and drop the phrase. You do not need a long preamble. If they say 'yes,' they might ask for your company's tax ID. If they say 'no,' they might offer a discount or a small gift instead. It is a very functional piece of language.
When To Use It
Use it at restaurants after a big dinner. Use it at hotels when checking out. Use it when you buy a new laptop or phone. It is perfect for business trips where you need to get reimbursed. Even in a taxi, this phrase is your best friend. It ensures you have proof of your spending.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this at a tiny street food stall. The guy selling grilled squid on the corner does not have a tax machine. Do not use it when a friend buys you a coffee. That would be a bit awkward and overly formal. Also, avoid using it at flea markets where prices are negotiated under the table.
Cultural Background
In China, the fapiao is a big deal. It is not just a receipt; it is a legal document used by the government to track tax. For many employees, collecting these is a monthly ritual for reimbursement. Some restaurants used to offer free soda if you did not ask for one. This was their way of saving on tax! It is a unique part of the Chinese consumer experience.
Common Variations
You can make it more polite by adding qing wen (may I ask) at the start. If you are in a rush, you can just say fa piao with a questioning tone. If you need a digital one, ask for dian zi fa piao. Most places now just have you scan a QR code to get it sent to your phone. Technology makes everything faster!
사용 참고사항
This phrase is neutral and safe for all commercial interactions. If you want to be extra polite in a high-end setting, start with `qing wen` (may I ask).

Paper vs. Digital
Many places now only provide 'dianzi' (electronic) fapiaos. They will ask you to scan a QR code on your receipt to generate it yourself.
