Country-aware checks
- Tax terminology: VAT
- Business ID label: Tax Identification Number (TIN)
- A Bahamas VAT invoice must prominently identify itself as a VAT or tax invoice and show the supplier's TIN, name and address; serial number; recipient registrant's TIN, name and address; invoice and, when different, supply date; service description and value; discount information; item-level VAT-exclusive unit price, quantity or service extent, VAT rate and VAT-exclusive total; total VAT; and VAT-inclusive amount payable. Zero-rated or exempt lines need clear treatment.
- Only a VAT-registered supplier may issue a VAT invoice. Show the supplier TIN; a VAT invoice to a registered recipient also identifies the recipient by TIN, name and address. A non-registrant must not charge VAT or issue a VAT invoice.
- Maintain reliable VAT accounting records in The Bahamas, in English, for five years after the relevant tax period for a registrant or taxable transaction for another liable person. Earlier disposal requires written permission from the Comptroller.
- Bahamas VAT registration, returns and account management operate through the authority's online service. This browser-local printable invoice neither registers the issuer, files a VAT return, pays VAT, verifies a TIN nor receives authority validation.
