Proforma invoice is like a payment request - then when you receive payment you issue your invoice. Normally has a note at the bottom, a vat invoice will issue upon receipt of payment in full...
It also means they wont be liable for the vat until they pay you - are you sure they are going to pay straight away??
I paid a Proforma invoice in May and I'm having trouble getting a proper VAT invoice out of the organisation that issued it so I can't reclaim the VAT.
What are my options?
