Billing and EU VAT
What EU invoices carry, the reverse charge mention, exemptions, and VAT in your own currency.
With an EU country and a VAT number, invoices carry what the EU VAT Directive asks for, including the date of supply and both VAT numbers when the reverse charge applies.
- Business customers in another EU country: use the *Reverse charge* rate. The invoice prints *Reverse charge* in your language and in English, for example *Autoliquidation / Reverse charge*, and needs the customer's VAT number.
- Exempt supplies: an exempt rate must say why, for example the article of the Directive. Add it as the rate's note.
- Invoicing in another currency: add the exchange rate, and the VAT is shown in your national currency too.
