Double accounting need be <b>either</b> cash based <b>or</b>
commitment based. You cannot validly mix the two. That much is true.
However:<br>
<ol>
<li>The requirements by law to approve an invoicing system need
not include accounting at all, much less make sure it conforms
to any particular standard. It is true that that will not allow
you to issue אישור ניהול ספרים if you are required to keep
double bookkeeping, but most people who are required to do that
pay someone to do it. As such, I don't think saying "illegal"
does this justice.</li>
<li>Performa invoices transactions have three stages, instead of
the more traditional two. There is the payment requirement stage
(the performa invoice), the formal transaction stage (the tax
invoice) and the actual payment. You are right that creating two
transactions, one for the performa and one for the tax invoices,
is wrong, whether it is illegal largely depends on the way the
tax is calculated. If the VAT payment is calculated to the right
amount at the right time, I don't see how that is a problem.</li>
