Take the 50% advance the day the design is approved.
Signs, shopfront lettering and exhibition stands are designed, approved and built against a deadline. Mizarah raises the advance invoice the day the design is approved and takes it off the final invoice by itself, with the VAT declared once.
The advance is a tax point. Mizarah treats it as one.
Receiving an advance means declaring its VAT then. Mizarah raises the advance tax invoice with that VAT, and on the final invoice takes the advance off without declaring its VAT a second time, so the VAT return matches what you actually charged.
- Quote, approve and invoice the advance in minutes
- VAT on the advance declared once, never twice
- Job cost for every stand and every sign
- Tax invoices in Arabic and English
| Approved quote (ex VAT) | 92,000.00 |
| Advance (50%) | 46,000.00 |
| VAT 5%, declared now | 2,300.00 |
| Due now (AED) | 48,300.00 |
On the final invoice the advance comes off by itself, and its VAT is not declared again.
An example with round figures, worked out the way Mizarah does it: deductions first, then VAT 5%.
