  • You think your turnover may go over the threshold in the next 30 days.
  • You take over a VAT registered business as a going concern.
  • You are selling goods into the UK from another country in the EU and exceed the 'distance selling threshold'.
  • You acquire goods from other countries in the EU totalling more than £67,000 in a year

The buyer can also have a VAT registration number if resident in a EU country but companies outside EU can also have a registered VAT number. This is usefull when doing intra-EU trades. You can find offical documentation on http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk

F.A.Q.

Nothing happens when I click on "Generate printable".

Check that you don't have an active pop-up blocker. Your browser should warn you. On Internet Explorer navigator the pop-up blocker can be configured on the Tools menu.

How do I make a discount?

Fill a line with a negative amount.

Totals seem wrong.

If you check the "VAT included input" option, a division is made to find the VAT amount and the result must be rounded. Although the rounded rules are observed, a one cent difference can appear in the total. To correct it, uncheck the option "VAT included input" and enter your prices VAT excluded.

Can you add other fields such as payment or transport information ?

These additions would make the form too complicated for the beginners. As free service, BonneFacture must remain simple without any training. Use the free fields such as the footnotes and the description line to put your extra information in.

I need an invoice without VAT, the file produced still mention the word VAT, what can I do ?

The word VAT is not forbidden it just that the VAT must be zero. By changing the rate to a zero rate.
