Tax Invoice

[billett]

Hi,

I enabled the tick box that seems to be available to send a tax invoice to a customer which is a requirement if VAT registered.

It seems that shopify starts its own VAT invoice numbering which cannot be changed. this creates problems as it means that the invoice numbering is different to that which is the order number (which i use to import into quickbooks). There is no correlation between the VAT invoice and the order ref, no note to it on the invoice either.

Is there anyway i can sort this? or is it best to go back to pulling the invoice manually using order printer

Thanks, thats what I was doing and im back to doing.

Hi Billett, Shopify's invoices use their own numbering, and these cannot be changed today. This should not impact compliance, since the EU allows you to reconcile invoices with differing numbers. There is no way for order numbers to be reflected on the invoice right now, but we're looking into adding this functionality in the future.

It would seem a very small effort to add the actual order number to the VAT-invoice. The Dutch VAT office will not agree with these invoices that are not the same invoice number or at least that it is mentioned! Please fix this asap as this is really not correct

Hello - thanks for the feedback; it's something that still remains on our roadmap. If you have a government document, that would be helpful. Based upon our folks' reading, the requirement is for a unique sequential number vs the order/invoice number itself.
