In this section, we describe the various types of invoice items that exist on the platform. These items can be categorized into charging sessions and products.
Charging Sessions Invoice Items for Customers
- Charging sessions consumed by you (customer) on third-party charge stations: Transactions done by your customer on Charge Stations outside your provider, which can be on the Last Mile Solutions platform or another platform.
- Charging sessions consumed by you (customer) on your own charge stations: Transactions done on the customer’s own Charge Stations. These transactions are often without costs, but costs can be applied. If your customer is both paying for the transactions and receiving the reimbursement, the amounts to be paid and received are settled with each other.
- Charging sessions consumed by you (customer) on charge stations of your provider: Transactions done by your customer on Charge Stations within your provider.
- Charging sessions delivered by you (customer) to third parties: When you are set up as ‘receiver charge transactions’ on the Charge Station, allowing third-party end-users to charge at your Charge Station. Receivables for these transactions are specified in this item.
- Charge on home charging sessions: Found on an invoice for a company that has set up a Charge Point for home charging for an employee. Home charging sessions are outside the scope of VAT.
- Margins over home charging sessions: When a Charge Point for an employee is set up for home charging with a tariff that includes a margin for the provider, the margin amount is taxable with VAT and specified separately on the invoice. The home charging tariff itself is outside the scope of VAT, while the margin is applicable to VAT.
- Reimbursement home charging sessions: Found on an invoice for an employee with a Charge Point set up for home charging in the platform.
