VAT Number on Invoice

It is common in countries with VAT for sellers to include their VAT registration number (if VAT registered) in the identification details on invoices for both B2C (business-to-consumer) and B2B (business-to-business) sales.

When selling to businesses (B2B), the VAT registration number of the customer (if they are VAT registered) typically must also be included on the invoice.

You can collect customer's VAT Registration Number on Customer registration
