Video: Invoices: What You NEED TO KNOW 2024, July
An account is not a legal, tax or even primary accounting document. The form of this agreement between the seller and the buyer is not regulated anywhere. Nevertheless, when compiling an account, you should still know some things.
Instruction manual
1
You can develop your own invoice form for the payment of certain goods or services on behalf of the company in which you work. The seller, accepting this paper, shows his agreement with the amount indicated in it, in order to subsequently pay it.
2
Indicate the following information in the invoice in order to make the payment possible: its serial number, date of issue, details of the seller to which funds should be transferred, names of goods or services payable, as well as a note on whether they are subject to VAT. Do not forget to enter the name of the organization that is invoiced, the name of the bank, TIN, correspondent and settlement account numbers. If necessary, enter information on the terms of payment and delivery of goods or services or a note on prepayment.
3
In order to avoid unforeseen delays when paying, indicate on the invoice the contact numbers of the seller and the buyer. There you can also specify information about the seasonal sale or add other types of advertising.
4
If you are invoicing on behalf of the organization, and not on behalf of an individual entrepreneur, then in the place where the signature should be, replace the box "Individual entrepreneur" with "Head of the enterprise". According to the Federal Law "On Accounting", the seal and signature of the head of the enterprise, accountant or other responsible person is not required.
5
Find ready-made samples of bills on the Internet if you do not want to devote time to their own compilation. Or you can use the help of programs from the 1C series or others, for example, the program "Business Pack", which is free.
6
Remember that the account has no legal force. In the case of an existing agreement on the transfer of the invoice by fax, the buyer can pay it in this form. However, subsequently the buyer's accounting department must provide the original.
