Question 1

Can I send invoices in other languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Taxmo renders invoices, credit notes and the invoice, quote and payment-reminder emails in 19 languages: Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Romanian, Portuguese, Bulgarian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Hebrew (Arabic and Hebrew render right-to-left). The invoice language is picked automatically from the customer's country, or you can set it per invoice or as an account default.

Question 2

Can I invoice a customer in Chinese, Arabic or Turkish?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Simplified Chinese invoices render with an embedded CJK font, and Arabic and Hebrew invoices render right-to-left. Dates and the VAT summary use each language's local format, and the legally required mentions (the margin-scheme notice per EU VAT Directive 2006/112/EC Article 226(14) and the art. 11 VAT-exemption notice) are translated into the invoice language.

Question 3

Does an invoice in another language still meet Dutch VAT requirements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dutch invoicing rules govern the invoice's content, not its language, so an invoice in the customer's language is compliant as long as every mandatory field is present. Taxmo keeps all required fields (supplier and customer details, invoice number and dates, description, VAT rate and amount) and states the VAT reason (such as the margin scheme or the art. 11 exemption) in the same language as the rest of the invoice.
