About Proforma Invoices

A pro forma invoice is not a true commercial invoice; it is simply a document that declares the seller's commitment to provide the goods or services specified to the buyer at certain prices. A pro forma invoice is a common form used in both domestic and, even more commonly, international trade to provide buyers, as well as, in the event of international trade, the appropriate import or export authorities, where additional details may be required for customs, with the required information about shipment. Proforma invoices are not recorded as accounts receivable by the seller, nor are they recorded as accounts payable by the buyer. A pro forma invoice is very similar to a sales quote because it is used to formally define the value of a trade prior to shipping or the actual completion of the sale.

According to HMRC, pro forma invoices are not VAT invoices and therefore should be marked with the words 'This is not a VAT invoice'. If the recipient accepts the goods or services offered in the pro forma invoice and you in turn supply them, then you must issue a proper VAT invoice within the appropriate time limit. A pro forma invoice is a quote in an invoice format that may be required by the buyer to apply for an import license, contract for pre-shipment inspection, open a letter of credit, or arrange for the transfer of hard currency. A pro forma may not be a required shipping document, but it can provide detailed information that buyers need in order to legally import the product.
