Closing documents

Question

Hello! I would like to fund advertising in the Bing network via a company invoice. Could you please let me know whether you provide closing documents that I could use in Kazakhstan for tax reporting purposes?

Answer 1

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your question. I understand you’re planning to fund Bing network advertising through a company invoice and need to confirm whether Microsoft provides closing documents suitable for tax reporting in Kazakhstan.

I know how important compliant documentation is for smooth accounting and tax filing, especially with Kazakhstan’s strict e‑invoicing framework.

Microsoft Advertising does issue monthly invoices that include key financial details such as spend amount, invoice number, customer ID, billing period and payment terms, which can be used for tax reporting purposes. This aligns with Microsoft’s published guidance on how advertising invoices are generated and what information they contain.

However, Kazakhstan requires all taxable transactions to be reported through its national Electronic Invoicing Information System (EIIS/IS ESF), where invoices must be submitted in structured XML format and digitally signed according to local standards. Since Microsoft Advertising invoices are not generated through Kazakhstan’s EIIS platform, their acceptance depends on local tax authority requirements. Because Microsoft does not provide country‑specific confirmation for Kazakhstan, it’s best to verify with your local accountant or tax office to ensure full compliance.

Would you like guidance on where to access your Microsoft Advertising invoices or how to update your billing details to ensure your documents meet your company’s internal compliance requirements?

Feel free to reach out anytime if you need help reviewing your billing setup or have additional questions about using Microsoft Advertising documentation for tax reporting. I’m here to support you.

 

Best Regards,

Noel

Microsoft Advertising provides invoices that can be used for tax reporting purposes. When you fund advertising through the Bing network, you will receive an invoice every month indicating the amount spent. This invoice includes details necessary for tax reporting, such as the invoice number, customer ID, billing period, and payment terms.

However, specific details regarding the acceptance of these documents for tax purposes in Kazakhstan are not provided in the context. It is advisable to consult with a local tax professional to ensure compliance with Kazakhstan's tax regulations regarding the use of these invoices.
