What a compliant tax invoice needs
The fields tax authorities expect on a tax invoice — all printed by IBEX automatically.
Every IBEX receipt for a taxable sale is a tax invoice carrying:
- The restaurant's name (English and Arabic) and its tax registration number, labelled for your country (TRN, VAT No. or GSTIN).
- The invoice title your country uses — for example “Tax Invoice” or “VAT Invoice” (a browser print adds the Arabic, as in “Tax Invoice · فاتورة ضريبية”), a simplified tax invoice in Saudi Arabia, or a Bill of Supply for an Indian restaurant on the composition scheme.
- The order number, the date and time, and who billed it.
- Each line and its price; on a mixed-rate bill, the rate each line carried.
- The subtotal, any discount and service charge, the tax at its rate — for example “VAT (15%)” — any local fee, and the total.
- A QR code: the hosted digital copy of the bill, or your country's e-invoicing QR.
For a business customer, open the business-customer strip on the till and enter their legal name and tax number before payment; the invoice then carries them. Print Bill before payment prints a bill marked “not a tax invoice”.
In a country with no VAT (Kuwait, Qatar), a bill that charged no tax is not a tax invoice: it prints as “RECEIPT” (“Receipt · إيصال” in a browser print), with no tax-number line unless you have set a tax number, and its e-mailed copy says Receipt. A refund against it gets a plain “Credit Note” rather than a “Tax Credit Note” — see refund a paid bill.
Set your tax number and rate once — see tax setup — and every invoice carries them. For e-invoicing by country, see the VAT overview.
