Document Overview
Whether you're a seller or a buyer, having a record for your transaction is essential. These records are usually known as a tax invoice. If you are the recipient of goods or a service, having a tax invoice is essential for providing evidence of your purchase, such as for taxation purposes. Tax invoices also allow you to track your purchases for budgeting.
For businesses, using a tax invoice means that there is always a ‘paper trail’ or documentary evidence of the purchases made by customers. You may require this as evidence of purchase if there is any dispute between yourself and the customer.
A tax invoice will detail the price, products or services, and quantity involved in your transaction.
