What a statement is for

  • English "statement of account" means a periodic running-balance summary
  • 거래명세서 records one delivery, on one date, itemized
  • This generator produces one transaction, one document
  • A multi-period running balance needs a different tool

In English-language bookkeeping, "statement of account" usually means a summary a supplier sends a customer listing every invoice issued and payment received over a period, ending in a running balance — a reminder document, not a bill for one job. In Korean business practice, 거래명세서 (also called 거래명세표) is narrower and more common day to day: a single record of one delivery on one date, itemized the same way an invoice is, often handed over alongside the goods or right after. This generator produces the second kind — one transaction, one date, one document — which is what most freelancers and small suppliers in Korea actually need.

If what you actually need is a multi-period ledger with a running balance across many invoices, that's a different job — an accounting tool or spreadsheet, not a single-transaction generator like this one.

What belongs on a statement

  • Trade date replaces the due date found on invoices
  • Each line item lists quantity, unit price and amount
  • Totals include subtotal, VAT if applicable, and grand total
  • Notes field can reference a PO or invoice number

A statement carries almost the same fields as an invoice, with the trade date doing the work a due date does on a bill.

  • A document number, sequential and unique
  • Trade date: the date the goods or service actually moved
  • Supplier and recipient, with contact details for both
  • One line per item with quantity, unit price and amount
  • Subtotal, VAT if it applies, and the total for that delivery
  • Notes: purchase order reference, related invoice number, or delivery method

Statement, invoice, tax invoice: who gets which

  • Statement proves what was delivered and when
  • Invoice proves what is owed and its due date
  • Tax invoice proves VAT was charged and reported
  • Only tax invoices support an input-VAT credit at Hometax

The three commonly get confused because they can describe the same underlying sale. A useful way to keep them apart is to ask what each one proves.

  • Statement (거래명세서) proves what was delivered and when — a delivery-and-pricing record, not proof of tax or payment
  • Invoice (청구서) proves what is owed and by when — a request for payment with a due date
  • Tax invoice (세금계산서) proves VAT was charged and reported — the only one of the three the National Tax Service (Hometax) recognizes for input-VAT credit

Running a tab: statements across several deliveries

  • Issue one statement per delivery, one invoice per period
  • Number statements separately, e.g. S-2026-0001
  • Invoice notes should list which statements it settles

Suppliers who deliver on a schedule — weekly stock, monthly retainer work — often issue one statement per delivery and one invoice per month or quarter that references all the statement numbers it covers. Number each statement independently from your invoices (S-2026-0001, for example) so the two sequences never collide, and keep the invoice's notes field listing which statements it settles.

Korean 거래명세서: supplier/recipient blocks and the 3-copy habit

  • Korean form adds 공급자/공급받는자 blocks with registration numbers
  • Line items split into 공급가액 and 세액 at 10%
  • Paper copies are traditionally printed in duplicate or triplicate
  • A statement alone does not support an input-VAT credit

Switch on Korean business form and the statement gets the 공급자/공급받는자 blocks with business registration number, representative, address, business type and item, plus line items split into 공급가액 (supply value) and 세액 (VAT) at the standard 10% rate. Paper 거래명세서 are traditionally printed in duplicate or triplicate — one copy for each party and sometimes one for internal filing — a habit that carries over even when the document itself is a PDF: many suppliers still print two copies and keep one signed or stamped.

A 거래명세서, however carefully filled in, is not a tax invoice and does not by itself support an input-VAT credit. If your counterparty needs one for their VAT filing, a proper 세금계산서 has to be issued through Hometax or accounting software in addition to the statement.

Frequently asked questions

Is a statement the same as an invoice?

No. A statement records what was delivered on a date; an invoice requests payment by a date. Many suppliers issue both for the same transaction.

Can I use this for a running account balance across many invoices?

Not directly — this generator is built for one transaction on one date. For a multi-period balance, list the statement numbers it covers in an invoice's notes instead.

Does a Korean 거래명세서 need a business registration number?

It's standard practice and expected by most Korean accounts-payable teams. Korean business form mode has a dedicated field for both the supplier's and recipient's registration number.

Is a statement proof I can use for a VAT deduction?

No. Only a 세금계산서 issued through Hometax (or another National Tax Service-approved e-invoicing channel) supports an input-VAT credit. Confirm with a tax professional (세무 전문가 확인) before relying on a statement for tax purposes.

How is the trade date different from the issue date?

The trade date is when the goods or service actually changed hands; the issue date is when you printed or sent the document. They're often the same day but not always, for example when a statement is drawn up a day later for a batch delivery.
