    [Question] Very specific tax invoice requirement spec

    Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me. The picture might seem confusing, hopefully it makes sense to someone.
    Company B invoices a customer for a vatable service provided. The customer doesnt pay company B. Then company B sells the debt to company C. Company C takes on the debt in its books and pays company B 50% of the debt as a final settlement. Company B allocates the 50 % payment against the invoice it issued to the customer. And company B writes of the remaining 50% as bad debt with a credit note allocated against the invoice. Therefore the invoice is fully cleared between company B and the customer.
    Now for the actual question. What documentation would company C have between itself and the customer, with regards to SARS requirements and Vat implications and if it would be Tax invoice or a debit Note, seeing as the original vatable service that was delivered cant be on two different Tax Invoices?

    Hi, this opinion is worthwhile:
    When a vendor, which is registered for value added tax (VAT) on the invoice basis, has made ataxable supply on credit, the vendor is generally required to account for the VAT on the value ofthe supply when a tax invoice for the supply is issued. If the vendor is unable to recover the debt,then s22(1) of the Value Added Tax Act, No 89 of 1991 (VAT Act) provides relief to the vendor byallowing for a deduction of the VAT previously accounted for, when the debt is written off asirrecoverable.
