A Cypriot freelancer or small business invoicing a customer has three things to get right: the VAT treatment per line, the legal references that go alongside it, and the totals math. This tool walks the same line, discount, VAT, totals pipeline Mantle's production billing engine uses, applies banker's rounding to per-currency decimals (two for euros, three for Bahraini dinar, none for yen), and renders the result through the same document template stack the platform uses for issued invoices, minus the business-specific machinery that only makes sense once you have a registered VAT number and a bookkeeping ledger.

For Cyprus domestic sales, the four standard rates are exposed directly: 19% (the standard rate), 9% (catering and accommodation), 5% (some foodstuffs, books, pharmaceuticals), and 3% (a narrow set added by the 2024 budget). Each line picks its own rate, so a mixed invoice (say, consulting at 19% alongside a zero-rated training course) comes out with the right VAT split and a per-rate breakdown in the totals.

For cross-border B2B sales, the tool carries the three common cases: EU sales of goods, EU sales of services, and exports outside the EU. All three collect zero VAT but for different statutory reasons, and each prints the right legal reference on the invoice. EU goods uses Article 138 of the VAT Directive, under which the recipient self-assesses VAT under reverse charge; EU services uses Article 196; non-EU exports print as zero-rated for export. The buyer's VAT number drives whether reverse charge actually applies: if you are invoicing an EU business with a valid VAT number, picking the EU goods or EU services policy is what surfaces the legend on the printed invoice.

Line discounts work the way most accounting systems do: either a fixed amount off the line or a percentage off the gross. The discount is applied to the pre-VAT amount, so a 10% discount on a €500 line at 19% VAT comes out to €450 net plus €85.50 VAT for a total of €535.50, not €595 less 10%. VAT-inclusive pricing is supported via a document-level toggle: the line prices then include VAT, and the calculator extracts the base by dividing by 1 plus the rate, absorbing any rounding residue into the VAT amount so no cents go missing.

Use this tool when you are issuing a one-off proforma, billing a new customer before your accounting setup is finalised, or simply double-checking the VAT math on an invoice your bookkeeper drafted. The PDF is generated on our server, returned to your browser as a download, and discarded with the request. We do not persist or log any of the invoice content. For ongoing invoicing with serial numbers, payment tracking, automatic ledger entries, reverse-charge reporting on your quarterly VAT return, and customer-portal sharing, Mantle's billing module handles all of that without you ever touching a PDF template.
