# Invoice [INV-YYYY-NNNN]

> Invoice for goods or services: seller and buyer details, invoice number
> and dates, line items with tax, totals, payment terms and methods, and
> notes. Based on common commercial practice. Rules for tax invoices
> (mandatory fields, numbering, tax wording, electronic invoicing) vary by
> country; check what your tax authority requires before you send.
> Replace every `[bracketed]` value and every row marked *Example*. This
> is a format, not tax or legal advice.

<!--
Guidance: How to use this template
- Use a unique, sequential invoice number and never reuse one. To correct
  an issued invoice, issue a credit note rather than editing it.
- Check the arithmetic: line net = quantity x unit price; tax per line =
  line net x tax rate; totals are the sums of each column.
- Include every field your local tax rules require, such as tax IDs,
  supply date and tax amount in local currency.
