Invoices for copilot

[omerzam]

I am trying to get an invoice for my Github copilot billing which I need for tax purposes
when going to the "Billing and Plans" section of my Github settings all I can get are payment receipts and not invoices

Is there a convenient way to get an invoice or am I doomed to make do with receipts?

[Misiu]

Same problem here. I need an invoice.
I got a receipt, I filled in all the required information on my settings page and there is no way to get an invoice.
How can we request that?

[intergrado-cg]

Same here

[wertania]

Same problem.

[mbswe]

Same here.

[ill-yes]

Yup, same here. The receipt doesnt contain all of the prefilled information eg. company.

[vneri]

does writing "same here" work? Also in need of a valid invoice

[ill-yes]

Same here = same problem. I need an invoice too 😭

[Marceloacs]

Same here! How can I pay with the business account? there is not an option.

[dylanjcastillo]

Same here!

Hi All,

We don't provide invoices as such for individual accounts, but you can add information to payment receipts, such as a company name, address or VAT number, which can help in meeting local accounting requirements. Here's a handy guide on how to do so:

Adding information to your receipts

Once you've added the extra information, you can download new copies of past receipts (all of which will now include the new information) by following the instructions here:

Viewing your payment history and receipts

I hope that helps, but please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Same here, I need a real invoice! this is ridiculous

[erkkimon]

I ended up here trying to figure out the amount of VAT. Ridiculous that it isn't in the receipt.

I'll wasting so much time to get a valid invoice (not receipts). Is the EU or german market so small, that there is no way to get a valid invoice which is accepted by law and fiscal authoristies?

[matasmaciulaitis]

I need an invoice, not a receipt

[katsar0v]

@Akash1134 not providing an invoice is illegal in EU. Could you talk with your boss and your teammates about this?

[underium]

I hate to say this, but same here. I need an actual invoice.

[breadthe]

I can't find an invoice anywhere either. I need it to get reimbursed by my company, having subscribed to Copilot with my personal account.
OK scratch that. I finally received a receipt in my primary email (with a long delay, which is fine).
Heads up to others - it seems that GH is applying a sort of pro-rated charge.
I subscribed for 1 year which is $100 (from Aug 26, 2022 to Aug 26, 2023) but the bill shows the service is paid thru May 11, 2023. They also charged $70 instead of the full $100. I suspect (but don't remember exactly) that May 11, 2022 is the day I received my Copilot invitation. So it tracks that the remaining ~3.5 months from May 11 to Aug 26 represents the $30 difference.

That's a corporate greed right there. Thanks Microsoft.

+1 need invoice with billing informations

[zalewskigrzegorz]

Same Here, I need to report spending with invoices what includes my legal name and vat ID.

[www-chique]

Need the invoice with billing information here as well for tax purposes.

[Igor-ZG]

Is the VAT charged on the invoice? I need it not charged as this is for my 10 developers and am paying as a company.

EDIT: Can someone please post how the invoice looks like, of course with out any personal info? Thank you!

[RaulSebastian]

I need a valid VAT invoice aswell, a payment receipt is not enough.

Hello, I have the same issue, please provide proper invoices.

[walva]

Same issue

[adrvs]

Same, I need an invoice

[Drachenkind]

No invoice, no github. I will cancel the subscription, if the issue isn't solved with the next billing.

[gamesover]

why github cannot provide invoice to us? I don't understand it.

[andrefcgoncalves]

Same, I need an invoice

[mark-langer]

@Akash1134 You wrote you guys were working on this in August 2022. Shouldn't that be enough time for a large Microsoft-owned company to comply to market standards?

[frontBOI]

that's for sure

[zweifuchs]

Please give us invoices. It is ridiculous that i do not get an invoice for the service. This is really bad managment. I need this for taxes. Please make this available asap.

[Rakoun]

I am in France and an invoice is required for my company too.
Does it mean that no company use GitHub copilot??

[katsar0v]

It looks like Microsoft / GitHub doesn't care about EU regulations and clients. I wish there was a way to contact the management to point the issue, I am tired of speaking to cheap support from Asia...

[fermentfan]

Oh come on guys as if THAT really is a problem with a company as big as GitHub. How do you all handle it in your book keeping? Do the German customers in here add it as a reverse charged invoice that increases VAT debt?

[mcwnuq]

I requested github support for invoice and they send me proper invoice with all information :)

[ksowa]

Same here. The receipt I can download is not even close to invoices required by our tax offices.

[LuigiRetzkowski]

Same here. Contacted support manually now. We are paying for this, its not free... Shouldn't be to much to ask.

Will cancel the subscription if I can't get the invoice.

[Gamewalker]

Just got a support message:

I'm pleased to inform you that I've generated your past five invoices and attached them here for your reference.

I am also excited to share news about a new billing feature we've introduced. You will now receive an invoice automatically, along with your receipt, after each payment.

🎉

[Rakoun]

What a chance. Nothing similar for me.
