EU reverse-charge invoice generator — free
100% private — this invoice is generated in your browser and never uploaded. Crossbill keeps no copy.
When you supply services B2B to a VAT-registered business in another EU member state, VAT is usually accounted for by the customer under the reverse-charge mechanism — you charge 0% VAT and state this on the invoice. Getting the wording wrong or omitting a VAT number can make the invoice non-deductible for your client.
This generator adds the required statement automatically — “Reverse charge: VAT to be accounted for by the recipient (Article 196, Council Directive 2006/112/EC)” — and gives you fields for both your VAT ID and your customer's VAT ID (which you should verify in VIES). It keeps sequential numbering and correct multi-currency formatting for cross-border billing.
It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. Presets are a convenience, not tax advice — confirm the treatment for your specific supply.
Frequently asked questions
- What wording does an EU reverse-charge invoice need?
- It must indicate that the reverse charge applies, e.g. “Reverse charge — VAT to be accounted for by the recipient”, ideally citing Article 196 of the VAT Directive. It should show both parties' VAT identification numbers and charge 0% VAT.
- Do I need my customer's VAT number?
- Yes — for a B2B intra-EU supply you should record the customer's valid VAT identification number and can verify it via the EU's VIES system before invoicing.
- Which currency should I invoice in?
- You can invoice in EUR or another agreed currency. Add an exchange-rate note for clarity; this tool supports 25+ currencies with correct formatting.
