Flemish term

wachtdocument

Flemish to English Law/Patents Law: Taxation & Customs VAT
De problemen stellen zich wanneer de afnemer geen of een niet conform de Belgische BTW-wetgeving opgestelde factuur van de dienstverrichter ontvangt. In dergelijke gevallen is de afnemer gehouden zelf een zogenaamd “wachtdocument” op te stellen. Op heden is volgens de Belgische BTW-wetgeving een dergelijk wachtdocument enkel geldig om de handeling vast te stellen en de verschuldigde BTW te voldoen, maar niet om het recht op aftrek uit te oefenen.

pro forma or temporary document

An educated guess, bearing in mind that "wachtdocument" is mentioned in inverted commas in the source text.
Peer comment(s):
agree writeaway : yes, but since this is a Federal govt. text,and Belgians do have a word for pro forma and temporary, I'd tend to go more towards the word 'pending' or maybe even 'interim'. pro forma +temporary are too 'definite' as terms./maybe transl.probs from Fr?

Thank P. Is 'temporary' too definite??? This may be an official Belgian government text, but "wachtdocument" is used in it in inverted commas. Surely that implies that it is not an official term.
Something went wrong...
