VAT-Compliant Invoice Generator — EU & UK Field Requirements

EU Council Directive 2006/112/EC and UK HMRC Notice 700 require specific fields on VAT invoices — missing any of them can render the invoice legally void. Our template includes dual VAT registration number fields, per-line tax rate selectors, and automatic Reverse Charge disclaimer text for cross-border B2B sales.

We calculate VAT independently per line item to prevent rounding drift on mixed-rate invoices. The output meets the structural requirements for France, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, and the UK.
