We are company based in European Union. Here we have to pay VAT from every received payment including credit which client deposits onto his client account as credit.

We cannot use current credit system in WHMCS because it is not fully legal in EU.

Is it possible to add some EU-friendly credit system?

1) Client adds funds/credit to his account and gets an invoice where the deposited amount is the amount WITH VAT included and only the amount WITHOUT VAT is added to his credit account.

2) When he uses credit to pay any invoice, there should be following scheme:
SUBTOTAL without VAT - CREDIT = TOTAL WITHOUT VAT + VAT counted from the TOTAL.

1) Should be treated as a deposit, no VAT should be mentioned at all. There should be no invoice number on the "invoice", only some uniqe order number. From accounting perspective it should be treated as a debt.

2) The VAT for the full amount should be on the invioce, regardless whether the invoice has been paid via credit or not.

1) is possible to fix with the current whmcs. Via template the "invoice" can be formed as a deposit instead. Via hook, the serial invoice number can be reset. Shoulde however be nice if there would be inherent support for this.

2) Already supported by WHMCS

WHMCS shoud however provide a report for the debt part, caused by the credit system.
It would still be counted as revenue within WHMCS.

Besides this how is the accountant of your customer going to handle outgoing payments without invoice?
If you pay credit you need to receive a legal document such as an invoice.
