When you sell through bol.com, you can't avoid it: you need VAT invoices for your records and for your customers. But how does that work exactly?

What does a VAT invoice for Bol.com entail?
Create a VAT invoice is an official document that shows how much sales tax has been paid on a purchase. This is not only important for accounting purposes but also mandatory in certain situations.
A VAT invoice is essential for entrepreneurs because:
-
you can deduct or reclaim the VAT from the tax authorities;
-
it serves as legal proof of the transaction;
-
Accountants and bookkeepers need this document for correct reporting.
For consumers, a VAT invoice is especially important for warranty claims, declarations or business orders where they need proof of payment.
In short: without VAT invoices, you'll quickly get bogged down in administrative clutter. Bol.com also often involves a lot of manual work.
