The Commercial Sales Invoice is a fundamental business document used in Nigerian commercial transactions to document the sale of goods or services. It serves multiple purposes: as a tax document complying with Nigerian VAT requirements, as evidence of a commercial transaction, and as a payment request to the buyer. This document must comply with the Value Added Tax Act and other relevant Nigerian commercial laws, including the Finance Act 2020's provisions for electronic invoicing where applicable. The Commercial Sales Invoice is essential for business record-keeping, tax reporting, and audit trails, containing detailed information about the transaction, including seller and buyer information, item details, tax calculations, and payment terms. It's particularly important in the Nigerian business context where proper documentation is crucial for tax compliance and business operations.
