Also, and very importantly, an invoice needs to meet certain requirements under VAT regulations. Starting from July 1st 2015, there is an important change in Belgium VAT rules relating to the invoice!
The date of the taxable event had to be cleary mentioned on the invoice! There is some margin of tolerance: no date has to mentioned if the taxable event occured within 7 days after the date of the invoice.
Therefore,
- Please always mention the "process" that has led to the invoiced amount on the invoice.
- Don't use general terms and formulations to indicate deliveries and services.
- Also, make use of attachments, order forms, ...and all other type of document that can clarifiy the invoiced delivery or service.
