A Value Added Tax (VAT) Invoice is a document that lays out the details of a tax to be paid by a customer for goods or services rendered. This document will detail all value-added tax as prescribed by law and are usually sent to a customer within 30 days from the time that the goods or services were delivered or performed. While the United States does not impose VAT on goods and services, but rather retail sales tax, VAT is imposed on every stage of the production and sales process of an item and paid by the consumer.
