Classic Invoice Template for Netherlands

The Classic Invoice is a fundamental business document used in the Netherlands for commercial transactions between businesses (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) sales. It serves multiple purposes: as a payment request, a tax document for VAT purposes, and an accounting record. Subject to Dutch law, particularly the VAT Act (Wet op de omzetbelasting 1968) and EU VAT Directive 2006/112/EC, the document must contain specific elements including unique invoice numbers, VAT details, and business registration information. Businesses are required to retain these invoices for seven years under Dutch tax record-keeping requirements. The Classic Invoice format ensures compliance with these regulations while providing a clear, professional presentation of the transaction details.
