Tax invoices

Some countries levy taxes like Value Added Tax (VAT) or Goods and Services Tax (GST) on the transactions that are completed by a property. Such properties enforce a legal requirement to print certain information on the invoice printout.

An Invoice from a property that levies VAT or GST is known as a Tax Invoice. A tax invoice by law must include certain information on the printout. On the other hand, the hospitality industry also requires certain information to be displayed on the invoice.
