Sending VAT invoice to someone else?

[welcomebrand]

I had a request to send a VAT invoice for a customer order (it's fine to send one) but I just wondered what the legal/data protection stance is if that invoice has been requested by someone not the customer?

In this case it appears to be that person's account department but should I only send a VAT invoice if the customer themselves requests it which seems more in line with what I'd expect in terms of data protection.

Are you refering to different individuals or different legal entities?

It's the legal entity that counts.

The request has come from what appears to be their accounts department rather than the individual who placed the order. It's the same email domain but I just wanted to double check really.

Send it to both individuals.

Make sure you have the correct legal entity
