Document background
A Car Sale Invoice is a legally required document in Belgium for any vehicle sale transaction, whether between businesses (B2B) or business to consumer (B2C). This document serves multiple purposes: it acts as proof of ownership transfer, enables vehicle registration changes, satisfies VAT documentation requirements, and provides evidence of the transaction terms. Under Belgian law, the invoice must include specific details about the vehicle, parties involved, and pricing breakdown, while complying with both federal Belgian regulations and European Union directives on consumer protection and vehicle sales. The document is particularly important as it forms part of the mandatory documentation required by the Belgian Vehicle Registration Service (DIV) for transferring vehicle ownership.
