T4	The brand provided goods or services to you while you were located in the European Commission . VAT's reverse charge mechanism will shift the obligation to pay the tax onto you.
T9	VAT does not apply to the transaction, and does not need to appear on the brand's VAT Return .

My invoice doesn't look right

It is essential to consider the different contract terms when you suspect your invoice isn’t correct. Below is a case study where various contract terms created an invoice that didn’t reflect the payouts as the user expected.

Contract terms: The brand's contract had an action-locking period set to 15 days after the end of the month in which the action occurred. The contract set the payout schedule to 10 days after action locking.

With these contract terms in mind, if an action occurred in April, it would lock on May 16th. impact.com will pay the action into your account on May 27th. That payout would appear on the next generated invoice, and in this case, that would be on June 1st.
