Reissuing an Invoice
Permalink Closed

Good day!

We had a customer that hadn't paid their invoices since June 2013.  In order to for these invoices to get paid, they had us reissue them with the current date and a new PO.  What should I do with the old invoices? Can I just write them off?

Cheers!

The obvious thing to do would be to issue a credit note against them.

A key question though is did you get paid the new invoices. Could be looking to do that as a get out!

Ive heard this - 'we can only pay the invoices if you re-issue them' on a couple of occasions. Whish you had posted before the invoices were re-issued because I wouldve said dont do it....despite the invoices being old, if they havent been paid then they are still valid. I agree with Phil - sounds like they are looking for an excuse not to pay. How many are there and are you/them registered for VAT?

Thoughts are my own/not to be regarded as official advice,which should be sought from a suitably qualified Accountant.

It does not need to be reissued unless there is an error on it.

I would issue a debt collector.
