Legal & Tax Disclaimer

1. General Educational Information Only

All information, country tax presets, invoicing guides, compliance checklists, template models, and calculation engines provided on Deleix Invoice Maker are offered solely for general educational, illustrative, and administrative workflow convenience. The contents of this website and software do not constitute legal, tax, accounting, financial, or regulatory advice, and must not be relied upon as such.

2. No Professional-Client Relationship

Your access to or use of Deleix Invoice Maker does not create an attorney-client, accountant-client, tax practitioner-client, or fiduciary relationship between you and Deleix. The software is a self-service technology utility. You are solely responsible for verifying the legality, accuracy, and completeness of all invoices, rates, tax amounts, and business disclosures issued to your clients.

3. Requirement for Independent Verification

Tax legislation, mandatory electronic invoicing regulations, registration thresholds, and statutory invoice formatting mandates change regularly and differ substantially based on local municipality, state, provincial, and national jurisdictions. You should always consult with a certified public accountant (CPA), chartered tax advisor, or qualified legal counsel in your jurisdiction before issuing commercial tax invoices or determining your sales tax / VAT obligations.

4. Cross-Border Transactions & Reverse-Charge Rules

If you provide freelance services or digital deliverables to clients residing in other countries or economic zones (such as intra-community supplies within the European Union or cross-border B2B services in the United States and Canada), special tax rules may apply. These include reverse-charge VAT mechanisms, export zero-rating, and foreign withholding taxes. Deleix Invoice Maker provides advisory toggles, but you are solely responsible for determining whether a reverse-charge annotation (such as "VAT reverse-charge applies under Article 196 of the EU VAT Directive") is required on your documents.

5. Statutory Record Retention Obligations

Most national revenue authorities mandate that businesses retain copies of all issued and received commercial invoices for a minimum statutory period. For example, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and the UK HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) require records to be retained for at least 6 years, while the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requires 5 years, and New Zealand's Inland Revenue requires 7 years. Because Deleix Invoice Maker stores your drafts locally on your device, you are responsible for maintaining permanent archival backups (via our JSON and PDF export tools) to satisfy local audit retention laws.
