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]

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!

If VAT is 0%, could GitHub explicitly mention it? So users don't spend time trying to register it as a professional expense.

+1, a receipt is not an invoice. In the EU we need invoices as @vdsbenoit stated.

[HoMi264]

+1 I need an Invoice. How hard is it to provide a legal invoice document?

[vdsbenoit]

FYI, I followed the instructions from valicsek in his post further down in this issue, and it worked :

@Akash1134 I'm rather shocked the 2.5y later GitHub are still sending out these non-compliant receipts rather than proper VAT invoices as @vdsbenoit clearly outlined in their comment. I see something has now been added to Enterprise to allow a slightly improved version to be downloaded by why aren't you just emailing out a proper one as standard?

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

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.

[neoteknic]

+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.

[ctsDevel]

Up

[fiunti]

Without a regular invoice, we will unfortunately have to give up and close the account.

[Rakoun]

Hello,

I content the support and they do the necessary.

[OnofrioAnnosciaApSystem]

we also needs invoices pls

[barryodonovan]

Well, I managed to find Invoices under the Payment history, but they don't have VAT number and they are titled 'Receipts' (even though they make multiple references to being Invoices).
It still seems a bit of a mess.

[b4u-mw]

Seems that invoices are now there in payment history. But broken, the data from https://github.com/settings/billing/payment_information is not used, only the username and ZIP.

Example:

[andreimirt]

There's progress apparently. Now there's a separate button to download invoices, but the invoices are just empty files. Can't they just use github copilot to implement the feature. Does it really need to take 3 years for a company like Microsoft to implement invoicing in github?

[manwe]

Same problem here. Ica ndownload invoices but the billing information is not used, only the nickname

[EmanueleDB]

I have the same problem, the invoice shows my github nickname instead of the data that I put in the billing settings.

[andreiverdes]

Same problem here, I need an invoice!!

[apuacom-jacopo]

Same here, i need an invoice with correct details as reported in the billing information...

[EmanueleDB]

Can someone fix this simple bug? We are all waiting for our invoices to be fixed and this is ridiculous. We pay for a service every month and we can't have invoice with the right data?!
Someone from github should reply to this 'issue'

[andreimirt]

I am not waiting. I just switched to something else. I'm not paying out of my own pocket for a service I need for work.
