Invoice drafting checklist
These are practical prompts for preparing a draft, not a declaration that every field is legally mandatory in every transaction in this jurisdiction. Buyer type, registration, value, supply and document type can change the required fields.
- Seller identity
- Check the legal or trading name, address and identifiers relevant to the seller.
- Buyer identity
- Check which buyer name, address and tax identifiers the transaction requires.
- Document reference
- Use an identifiable invoice number or other reference appropriate to the document type.
- Relevant dates
- Record the issue, supply and payment dates that apply to the transaction.
- Goods or services
- Describe each line and check whether quantity, unit, classification or supply location is needed.
- Tax treatment
- Record the applicable tax basis, rate, amount, exemption or reverse-charge note after verifying it.
- Amounts and currency
- Check line amounts, adjustments, net, tax and payable totals and identify the currency.
- Payment and delivery details
- Add the agreed payment instructions and confirm whether a structured format or delivery channel is required.
E-invoicing
The registry contains an e-invoicing record for this jurisdiction. Treat it as a research starting point and verify its scope, dates, format and delivery channel from the cited evidence. A generic file export is not proof of national-platform acceptance.
Invoice questions
Which invoice details should I check?
Start with seller and buyer identities, document number and dates, line descriptions and amounts, tax treatment, totals, currency and payment details. Whether each field is legally required here depends on the parties, supply, registration and document type.
What GST rate should I use?
This profile lists 18% as a reference standard GST rate. It is not a transaction-level calculation; verify the evidence date, category, place of supply and any regional rules before using it.
How do I check e-invoicing requirements?
FreeBillGen has an e-invoicing research record for this jurisdiction. Verify its buyer scope, thresholds, dates, format and delivery channel against the cited evidence; a generic UBL or CII export is not a validated national profile.
