Getting your sales invoices right (and Xero-ready)

A car sale invoice has more going on than most. Get the wording and detail right and everything downstream, your VAT, your accounts, your records, falls into place.

The margin scheme wording

Margin scheme sales need specific invoice wording. It's easy to forget and easy to get wrong, but it matters for staying compliant.

The moving parts

Deposits, part-exchanges and finance all change what the customer actually pays and how it's recorded. A good invoice handles all of them clearly so there's no confusion later.

• Correct margin scheme wording, every time.
• Deposits and part-exchanges shown clearly.
• Straight through to your accounts, no re-keying.

The takeaway: raise the invoice right and the rest looks after itself. ForecourtX produces compliant invoices and exports them to Xero in a click.
