Invoices as Primary Support Documents in NetSuite 2024.2
Invoices become the main support documents for VAT in NetSuite 2024.2, affecting claims for input tax in the Philippines.
Starting in NetSuite 2024.2, invoices have been designated as the primary support document for VAT purposes in the Philippines. This significant change means that Official Receipts are now considered supplementary and cannot be used for input tax claims by buyers or purchasers of goods and services.
Changes in Templates
-
Philippines Official Receipt PDF/HTML Template: This template now includes a footer stating, “THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT VALID FOR CLAIM OF INPUT TAX,” which appears on the last page if the document is multi-page. This addition emphasizes that the Official Receipt is no longer a valid proof for input tax claims.
-
Official Receipt PDF/HTML Template (Without Footer): A new template has been introduced that allows the reuse of an Official Receipt as an invoice when applicable. This version omits the footer phrase, providing more flexibility for users who need to repurpose documents.
New Sale Type Column
Moreover, a Sale Type column is now included in the Items subtab on sales invoice and credit memo transaction forms specifically for customers in the Philippines. This addition ensures that relevant sale types are clearly displayed, promoting better organization and clarity within financial transactions.
Who This Affects
- Administrators: Need to update templates based on the new requirements.
- Accountants: Must adapt to changes in document validity for VAT claims.
- Developers: May need to implement or adjust reports related to invoicing and VAT documentation.
