Credit Notes for EU Freelancers: When to Issue One (2026)
Once you have issued an invoice in the EU, you cannot delete it, change the amount, or send a corrected version with the same number. The sequential numbering requirement and VAT audit trail mean that invoices are permanent records.

Invoice Payment Methods for EU Freelancers: SEPA, Wise, PayPal (2026)
The payment details on your invoice determine more than convenience — they determine how much of each invoice you actually keep. PayPal takes up to 3.4% plus a fixed fee on every transaction.

Proforma Invoice vs Invoice: Key Differences Explained
Treating a proforma invoice as a tax invoice is one of the most common — and costly — invoicing mistakes in EU business.
