Invoice contents

The main features of an invoice are:

  • Full name and full address of the service recipient
  • Tax number and/or VAT ID number of the company providing the service
  • Tax number and/or VAT number of the recipient of the payment
  • A unique invoice number
  • An issue date
  • Quantity and type of goods/services delivered
  • Specification of the time of performance
  • Net amount
  • A tax rate to be applied (otherwise the reason for the tax exemption)
  • Amount of tax
  • Gross amount
  • Currency

If one of the above details is missing, the invoice is deemed not correctly prepared. In this case, Central Invoice Management will request a corrected invoice version from the invoice issuer.
