Simplified invoice
In Arabic الفاتورة المبسّطة
A shorter tax invoice issued to a buyer with no tax number, usually a consumer, carrying fewer details than a full tax invoice.
In plain words
Shoppers and walk-in customers rarely have a tax number and do not reclaim VAT, so the full buyer details of a tax invoice are not needed. Many schemes allow a simplified invoice for these sales.
It still shows the seller and its tax number, the date, the items and the VAT, or states that prices include it. Under e-invoicing it is signed, carries a QR code and is usually reported after issue rather than cleared first.
The common mistake is issuing a simplified invoice to a business buyer who gave a tax number. They cannot reclaim the VAT on it, and the sale has to be credited and invoiced again.
