Invoicing in Trinidad & Tobago — What Businesses Typically Include
The information below is a general overview of common invoicing practice in Trinidad & Tobago. It is not legal or tax advice — for guidance specific to your business, consult an accountant or refer to the Board of Inland Revenue directly at bir.gov.tt.
VAT in Trinidad & Tobago
Trinidad & Tobago's Value Added Tax (VAT) is set at 12.5%, administered by the Board of Inland Revenue (BIR). Businesses with annual taxable supplies exceeding TT$500,000 are required to register for VAT with the BIR. Zero-rated VAT applies to certain exports and basic food items. Once registered, you must charge VAT on taxable supplies and submit regular VAT returns to the BIR.
BIR Registration and VAT Number
All businesses and individuals operating in Trinidad & Tobago must register with the Board of Inland Revenue (BIR). Once registered, you receive a Business Registration Number (BRN) and, if VAT-registered, a VAT registration number. Your VAT registration number must appear on all tax invoices issued to VAT-registered customers.
What a T&T Invoice Typically Contains
A well-structured invoice in Trinidad & Tobago generally includes: your business name, address, and BRN, your VAT registration number (if applicable), a unique invoice number, the invoice date and payment due date, your customer's name and address, a description of the goods or services, the amount before VAT, the VAT rate and amount, and the total amount payable. Bank details or payment instructions are commonly added at the bottom.
The Energy Sector and Professional Services
Trinidad & Tobago's economy is anchored by the energy sector, alongside a significant professional services, financial, and creative industries base. Many businesses and contractors invoice both local clients in TTD and international clients — particularly energy companies and regional organisations — in USD. BooInvoice's multi-currency support makes it straightforward to create professional invoices in either currency.
