Formal or editorial errors in invoices according to the BVBC not uncommon. Typical faults and how they can be avoided knows BVBC.
Quick sneak up on bills errors, which have far-reaching implications for billers and bill recipients. Although the possibility remains for invoice correction, but thereby threaten substantial additional expenses and additional costs.
The preparation of invoices requires extreme care to avoid avalanche effects, warns the Federation of accountants and controllers eV (BVBC). The mandatory information in accordance with § 14 and § 14a of the VAT Act (UStG) should be strictly respected. "Particularly error-prone is the duplication of invoices via copy function," says Uta-Martina Jüssen, member of the Presidium of the BVBC. "So it is easy to missing or incorrect positions, such as service period or invoice amount." Typos and inaccuracies about the company names are forgivable if the mandatory fields are clearly identifiable.
