How to use this proforma invoice template for Gibraltar
A proforma invoice is useful before the final invoice exists. It can show expected goods, services, prices, tax treatment, shipping details, or payment instructions, but it should remain clearly preliminary.
For Gibraltar, the key is to include local identifiers such as company registration number, customer address, project reference while making it clear the document is not a final no VAT invoice.
Proforma Invoice and no VAT in Gibraltar
A proforma invoice is normally preliminary. It can support quoting, customs, approval, or advance-payment conversations, but it should not be used as a final tax invoice, fiscal invoice, or official e-invoice unless converted through the correct local process.
Fields included in the template
Proforma number
Keeps preliminary documents traceable before a final invoice is issued.
Issue date and expected shipment/payment date

company registration number, customer address, project reference
Makes the proforma feel native to Gibraltar business paperwork.
no VAT estimate line

What to include
- Proforma number, issue date, buyer and seller details.
- Local business fields such as company registration number, customer address, project reference where relevant.
- Description, quantity, unit price, shipping, subtotal, estimated tax, and total.
- Payment, customs, delivery, or approval notes if the proforma is being used before fulfilment.
- A visible “not a tax invoice” or preliminary-document note.
Proforma, quote, or invoice?
Use a quote to make a firm offer before acceptance. Use a proforma invoice when the buyer needs invoice-like detail before the final invoice. Use a final invoice only when payment is due under the correct local rules.
This separation matters in Gibraltar, especially where VAT/GST/e-invoicing rules apply to final invoices but not preliminary documents.
