(23) Invoices issued in different business sectors may require the inclusion of information specific to those sectors. Nevertheless, a limited number of common standard elements should be included in all invoices. The presence of those elements is indispensable for verifying whether the invoice properly reflects the underlying business transaction and ensuring that the invoice is legally valid. A list of such elements required for VAT purposes is provided by Directive 2006/112/EC. The European standard on electronic invoicing should be consistent with this set of elements.
