WooPayments: Tax Documents

If your business is based in a country where you may need tax invoices, you can receive a monthly invoice showing our fees. We will require you to supply your business name, address, and tax ID number (if registered) the first time you access these invoices.

Invoices for the previous month are generated on the 10th day of each month.

If you have not provided us with your tax details before downloading an invoice, you will be prompted to do so when you attempt to download one. The data submitted in this form will be applied to all of your invoices, and you will not be prompted again.

If you are not registered for a tax ID number, simply click on Continue without checking the box.

If you are registered for a tax ID number, please check the “I’m registered for a VAT number” box. The tax ID field with your country’s prefix should appear. Provide your tax ID number and click Continue to initiate the validation process for the provided tax ID number. In the event that the provided tax ID fails validation, you will be notified.

After clicking on Continue, you should be redirected to the second step of this form.

Please fill in your business name and address and click Confirm. After your details are successfully saved, you will be automatically redirected to the requested invoice.
