Updating your Existing Subscriptions

For Subscriptions created before January 1 2018 and whose next billing date falls under the VAT regime, taxes can be collected to the subscription. You can edit your existing subscription to associate the taxes and the changes can be set to be effected at the end of the term. This way, the upcoming invoices will be VAT compliant.

Setting up the Invoice Template

To generate invoices in Arabic click on the add new template option, you may use the standard template and select the language as “Arabic”. You can make this template as your default template by clicking on the “Set as default” option so that the invoices are generated in Arabic by default.

As per the VAT regime, it is mandatory to include the Tax Registration Number (TRN) of the organization in the invoice.

To include the TRN in the invoice , go to Settings -> Preferences -> Address Format -> Organization Address Format  and click on the insert place holder option and choose the Tax registration number Label and its value (TRN and 1234)
