Invoice paid with discount (service provision, VAT due on collection)

[svanteschubert]

Background

Invoice paid with discount on supply of services for which VAT is due on receipt of payment

French Use Case n°22a: Invoice paid with discount for services for which VAT is due on collection

Discounting is an opportunity offered to customers to pay their invoices more quickly than expected, in exchange for a rebate. The amount of the discount does not appear on the invoice issued; only a statement detailing the discount conditions is shown on the invoice.

In the case of services, the administration will be able to take into account the discount granted thanks to the payment data transmitted. The "cashed" status will be enriched with the amount cashed (incl. VAT - discount).

For supplies of goods or operators who have opted for debits, as well as discounts net of tax, please refer to case 22b.
