VAT-Exempt Sales: Invoice Required Only Upon Buyer’s Request, Not Automatically

• VAT-exempt sales require issuing an invoice only upon the buyer’s request.
• If the buyer does not request an invoice within the specified time, the seller is not obligated to issue one.
• Other documents (e.g., receipts, commercial invoices) can be issued if both parties agree, but only the official invoice is required by law upon request.
• Recent interpretations suggesting mandatory invoicing for VAT-exempt sales without buyer’s request are contrary to established law and practice.
