Which documents can Autaxo create?

Sales invoices, credit notes, and cancellations all run through one workflow instead of being scattered across Word, PDF templates, and Excel.

Does invoicing support e-invoices?

Yes. The German XRechnung and ZUGFeRD formats are built into the invoicing logic, so B2B obligations and archiving are handled within the workflow.

How does Autaxo help with Section 25a, EU, and export cases?

Required notes, tax logic, and accounting handoff use the same underlying data, reducing corrections later.

Common Invoicing Scenarios

Good invoicing software must reflect real daily operations. It is not just about generating a PDF, but applying the right invoice logic to vehicle sales, e-invoices, and special cases.

Invoice for a Vehicle or Additional Service

Invoice more than vehicle sales. Standardize billing for fees, parts, reconditioning, and other services as well.

Section 25a Invoice Without Separate VAT Disclosure

For margin-scheme vehicles, the required note and internal tax logic matter. The invoice must differ from one using standard VAT taxation.

EU or Export Invoice

For cross-border transactions, evidence and correct notes are crucial. Invoicing cannot operate separately from the documentation and tax logic.
