What details have to be on a company invoice?
Discussion
A good friend needs some help.
He has one of these dread "Estate" charges
Many avenues of work are contracted out to a firm and in 2023 invoices total £63,471. He isn't disputing the work wasn't done but the invoices look a tad dodgy shall we say.
Company name is given, but when checked with companies house it was dissolved in 2021
Company address simply doesn't exist. It says Unit 2, then gives a building name, address with postcode. Friend checked it and it's a hotel. No units where a business could operate from or even be registered.
Now something I found strange is that a firm who bills in the region of £63K just to one firm in 1 year for some adhoc work gives no company number or VAT number on their invoices (No VAT is charged), but I would assume that this company would be doing enough work to easily go >£250K pa
Any advice to pass on?
