If not, you can use transaction date. If you pay in cash, you should get all three dates the same. But if you buy something else with contract, the three dates could be completly different. For example the cable guy from a big cable TV company goes to you. He fix the issue, let's say change a defected cable and he spends 30 minutes with the task and used 15m of cables. When he finished, he will ask you to sign the worksheet which will be the proof, the cable guy were in your home and did as he said. The cost could be also included on that worksheet. So, the happened on Friday afternoon. The cableguy goes to home and enjoys his weekend. When he goes to his financial office on Monday afternoon, he gives the signed worksheet to his financial department to prepare an invoice. On Tuesday morning they will enter the worksheet into their financial system and he will enter the Transaction date (when the job completed on last Friday). The financial department issues invoices in every Thursday, so they will issue it on Thursday and send it by post. Now you have three dates: when the job completed (transaction date, which generates payable tax by the company and receivable on the buyer side if he a company), when the invoice issued and hit the accounting book(!). Payment time also important, but it is not the basis of the tax period. So, controlling, when the transaction completed (which tax period you have to pay/receive VAT) and when the invoice issued (when will your accounting book get the information about the income/cost and its VAT) is very important to block/control paying taxes. That is why there are rules, how many days is the maximum between issue and transaction dates. Otherwise you can mess your account books and payable/receivable taxes with invoices, free of transaction based. I would be surprised, a goverment doesn't care or control payable taxes :) Thanks for your attention :)))) Cheers, IStván ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
