Define the Invoicing Information
Scroll to the next page, the "Invoicing Information" page to complete the blue fields:
9. Enter the information requested in the left column into the right column, by clicking on "Click or tap here to enter text" and entering the information into the field. Do this for the rows from "Official Company Name" to "Certificates needed".
- If you do not have an "Added Value Tax Number" such as a VAT registration number, then please enter "n/a".
- If you do not require Certificates like a PAN, then please enter "n/a".
