Are there any rules on invoice numbering? Can I create my own numbering system, i.e. I have three areas of business so it would be A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, C3, etc. My business sells hundreds of low price items (EUR1-EUR5) online, and creating invoice for each would be a nightmare. Configuring the software to automatically decide which customers should be charged VAT is another nightmare.
Do I have to create an invoice for each of these small purchases or can I just create them when customer asks for one? Each customer does get a receipt.
Is it acceptable if I don’t charge VAT for those purchases? I understand I will have to be paying TVA back on those transactions where I was supposed to take VAT which is fine with me, but this would bookkeeping slightly easier if we did not have to bother with TVA for each of those transactions.
