What you get
A printable credit note carrying the number of the invoice it reverses, the lines being credited, and the VAT unwound at the same rate it was charged. That reference is the part that matters: a credit note that does not say what it credits is a loose document your bookkeeping cannot reconcile.
Why not just delete the invoice?
Because in most of Europe you cannot. Once an invoice is issued its number is spoken for, and the sequence has to stay unbroken for the tax authority. The correct move is to issue a credit note that cancels it, then invoice again if you need to. Deleting the row leaves a gap, and a gap is what an audit asks about.
Getting the VAT right
Credit at the rate you charged, not the rate in force today. If the original was reverse-charged or exempt, the credit note has to say the same thing — the tool prints the same legal note, so the pair agrees. Partial credits are fine: only put on the lines you are actually crediting.
What this does not do
It does not know your invoices, so it cannot check the reference or work out what is left outstanding. In weBiller a credit note is raised from the invoice itself, which is why the amounts and the reference cannot disagree.
Questions, answered
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no watermark, no limit.
Where does my credit note go?
Nowhere. It is built in your browser and nothing is stored.
Should a credit note have its own number?
Yes, and its own sequence — most accountants want them distinguishable from invoices at a glance. A prefix like CN- is the usual way.
Can I credit part of an invoice?
Yes. Put only the lines you are crediting on it and reference the original invoice number.
Can I send it over Peppol?
A credit note is a first-class Peppol document, but you need the XML rather than a PDF. weBiller emits it; the free converter here covers invoices for now.
