VAT on a US invoice to a Berlin customer?

SigmaPointPi question · VAT · California, United States

We are a US entity. Customer is in Berlin and wants a reverse-charge note. Do we switch the invoice to VAT or keep it as a plain USD bill?

Do not charge German VAT. Reverse charge note only.

No German VAT line. Just the note and their VAT ID.

We sent Munich the same wording. They booked reverse charge without asking again.

We almost added a VAT line last winter. Glad we asked first.

We did this for Munich last winter.

Berlin AP handled it on their side. We kept the invoice in USD.

Do they need our EIN on the PDF?

VAT ID of theirs, our US address, reverse-charge wording.

VAT ID of theirs, our US address, reverse-charge wording. That is the whole note.

No German VAT line.

Our Berlin customer sent a template. Happy to share.

Happy to share the Berlin template if anyone wants it. I still have the PDF.

Reverse charge. Not a VAT charge.
