Reference the original document number so the correction is traceable. If you need to reissue the corrected amount, create a new Invoice, or confirm any refund with a Receipt.

Frequently asked questions

When should I issue a credit note?

Issue a credit note when you need to reduce or cancel an amount already invoiced — for example returned goods, an overcharge, a cancelled service, or a negotiated discount after the original invoice was sent.

Does a credit note affect my VAT return?

Yes. If the original invoice charged VAT, the credit note should show the VAT you are crediting back, and you adjust your VAT account accordingly for the period the credit note is issued.

Should I reference the original invoice?

Yes — always link a credit note to the original invoice number so both you and your client can reconcile the correction against the right transaction.
