Being a small business I have always been invoiced as A.N.Other T/A Name. Recently been "invoiced" with company name only and also the provider has three VAT numbers on the "invoice" HMRC says not an invoice due to the three VAT numbers. Accountant states not an invoice as just states "company name"
Had words with one wholesaler and he says invoices name as trading as as just to invoice the "company" name would not stand up in Court. HRMC says not valid and to report it and the only way this would be legal would be to get three seperate invoices. (Umbrella company acting as managment company for others at same address.) Supplies different services under one roof any suggestions or have I got it right that this is not an "invoice" and also an illgeal VAT invoice?
HMRC said I should report said company looked at VAT rules seems to be right.
Should I stand my ground and demand correct invoices for each "company"?

I will try a bit better.
Main company states they are a managment company, but listed as Telecoms. Invoiced for services (1) Telecoms (2) Other The VAT is combined on the front of the invoice and is then "itemised" to each company. HMRC says not a valid invoice. Due to three VAT numbers. (Matter reported.)
Invoiced to "company name" only not Mr A.N.Other trading as "company name"
Having looked on HMRC's website they should have invoiced me as "Mr A.N.Other T/A I know when I invoice other small business I have to do this.
HMRC says sounds more like a statment and not a bill or invoice. (I Remember when I first started I invoiced a company and they stated it was a statement and from then have invoiced as per HMRC etc.
They state as they are a managment company they can do this HMRC says no.
Made call to HMRC VAT to see if I could do the same and the only legal way is to have a VAT umbrella number for all three companies. I am not VAT registered but this is not the point if it is not an invoice and I claim it even though paid it what is HMRC going to say?
Many thanks for your kind reply and time.
