    Does anyone here have experience of the French government's Chorus Pro payment portal?

    I can upload and submit pdf invoices but really can't remember how I set it up. I have been paid for the first invoice so it must be working. The payment for my second invoice submitted is late, I guess either because I have done something wrong or I hope it is because the end user did not log...

    Thanks for the clarification, Paul. All the best.

    DHL Payment Deferment Risk

    This is very interesting. You claim the 'advance payment' service charge back as VAT (with DHL it becomes a % when total customs value >£400 from what I have read)? This is really the crux of my enquiry; how this service charge is classified and whether it can be claimed back or not. I had...

    DHL Payment Deferment Risk

    Thank you, Paul. Do you know what EU/UK VAT classification is the 'Advance Payment' service that they charge for? Do you know why this is zero VAT when it is a service charge from DHL UK? Also, which email address to request the receipt/invoice? All emails they send are noreply@. In your...

    DHL Payment Deferment Risk

    Small China import. We don't have a DHL account and supplier used DHL. VAT and handling fees charged to us by DHL upon landing (handling has been renamed 'PaymentDefermentRisk'). We are VAT registered. Does the PaymentDefermentRisk (listed as category VAT on the DHL paperwork, which it is...

    e-invoicing (electronic invoicing)

    Thanks for looking for prices. Me neither; I'll get in touch when I get the chance. Extracting from pdf documents is absolutely the most efficient process practically if you already have pdf generating software in place where the invoice format is unlikely to change and many of your customers...

    Small Business Storage/Back-Up Options?

    Interesting reading this. The whole range of data backup, data sharing, data security cannot be summarised in a thread as your choices involve your views on various risks and your views of what the future might bring, as well as your budget. I've never had to look for one because I am familiar...

    e-invoicing (electronic invoicing)

    CoudTrade seems to have a very good idea. Automatic extraction of the text fields embedded in pdf documents, so any accounting system can be used. I'm not sure how it works exactly as someone at some point has to decide how to identify the various text and value fields which will vary across...

    e-invoicing (electronic invoicing)

    Cost vs benefit. Yes, but the cost shouldn't be there; it is being bullied onto small businesses by the bigger businesses and public sector organisations without any acknowledgement. Has anybody seen the FSB's take on this? Do they actually do anything useful? Thanks for the links but these...

    e-invoicing (electronic invoicing)

    I think this must be very common but small businesses don't often have the time to complain about it; thanks for your input. The governments and larger organisations are strong-arming smaller businesses into having more overheads. It is openly admitted that the refusal of pdf invoices by...

    e-invoicing (electronic invoicing)

    Thanks for the reply. They give the following options interspersed with terminology with which we are unfamiliar. 1) 3rd party VAN operator connected to Visma Proceedo's standard channel, 2) Send e-invoices directly to Visma Proceedo, 3) PEPPOL Access points. Looks like there are some providers...

    e-invoicing (electronic invoicing)

    Delved a little deeper. This has become mandatory in Sweden so far. The university that is our customer has no portal set up for invoicing but is refusing to accept pdfs attached to emails. From what I can understand, however, until they have a portal set up they will accept invoices sent...

    e-invoicing (electronic invoicing)

    A pdf file attached to an email is NOT considered e-invoicing.

    e-invoicing (electronic invoicing)

    e-invoicing has, apparently, just become mandatory for public sector purchases in the EU. What is the simplest solution for a business that would normally attach a pdf invoice to an email to do this?

    PSD2 and card surcharging

    It just occurred to me. When is the legislation coming in that prohibits vendors from charging delivery costs? Surely passing on a delivery cost incurred by a company for delivery of specific goods delivered to a specific customer at a specific location is reprehensible, too? Clearly couriers...
