Tax basics

Required fields on international invoices

Keep parties, tax coding, supply dates, currency and evidence consistent.

International invoices need the same reliable core data as domestic invoices plus a clear cross-border classification. Visible wording and structured e-invoice data must express the same outcome.

Parties and tax data

Legal names, addresses, tax or VAT IDs, supplier and customer roles and any fixed establishment must be correct.

Supply and tax

Invoice number, issue and supply dates, description, quantity, net, tax category, rate, tax, gross, currency and payment data are required depending on the case.

Cross-border wording

Reverse charge, exemption, intra-Community supply or export need appropriate wording and evidence. Wording alone does not create the treatment.

E-invoice

For EN16931, Peppol, KSeF or national formats, required information must also be in the correct structured field and profile.
