A tax invoice must at least contain the following information:
- The wording “Tax Invoice” in a prominent place.
- The name, address, and tax identification number of the seller.
- The name, address, and tax identification number of the customer.
- The mention “Head Office” or “Branch” number for both the seller & customer.
- The tax invoice issue date.
- The tax invoice serial number.
- The description, quantity, unit price and total value of goods or services.
- The amount of VAT charged on goods or services.
A “regular” invoice is
issued to request the payment of goods and services; a tax invoice is then issued upon the delivery of goods or receipt of payment. The tax invoice date becomes the tax point for VAT purpose.
