Russian term or phrase: счёт-фактура

Из договора на оказание услуг: Счета не принимаются к оплате/ не оплачиваются в случае, если счета, счета-фактуры, акты сдачи-приемки услуг составлены с нарушением требований Клиента и/ или действующего законодательства РФ.
Как лучше передать российское понятие "счёт-фактура", чтобы оно было понятно иностранному (английскому, шведскому, американскому) получателю?
Отражает ли значение термина перевод VAT-invoice? Финансисты с ним несогласны. И приемлем ли вариант facture invoice?

invoice

Explanation:
It can often be translated as simply "invoice" without qualification (since a proforma invoice is a specific type, and I don't believe all счет-фактуры are proforma). To distinguish between счет and счет-фактура in the same sentence, the common (in English) formulation "bills and invoices" works pretty well.

In trade transactions, a pro forma invoice is a document that states a commitment from the seller to sell goods to the buyer at specified prices and terms. It is used to declare the value of the trade. It is not a true invoice, because it is not used to record accounts receivable for the seller and accounts payable for the buyer. Simply, a 'Proforma Invoice' is Confirmed Purchase Order where buyer and Supplier agrees on the Product Detail and its cost (usually-Supplier currency) to be shipped to buyer. Sales quotes are prepared in the form of a pro forma invoice which is different from a commercial invoice. It is used to create a sale and is sent in advance of the commercial invoice. The content of a pro forma invoice is almost identical to a commercial invoice and is usually considered a binding agreement although the price might change in advance of the final sale.
Banks usually prefer a pro forma invoice to a quotation for establishment of a letter of credit or for advance payment by the importer through his bank.
In some countries, customs may accept a pro forma invoice (generated by the importer and not the exporter) if the required commercial invoice is not available at the time when filing entry documents at the port of entry to get goods released from customs. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection, for example, uses pro forma invoices to assess duty and examine goods, but the importer on record is required to post a bond and produce a commercial invoice within 120 days from the date of entry. If the required commercial invoice is needed for statistical purposes, the importer has to produce the commercial invoice within 50 days from the date Customs releases the goods to the importer.

VAT invoice

Explanation:
Счет-фактура служит для исчисления НДС. Invoice имеет много значений, от счета до накладной, поэтому я обычно уточняю VAT invocie. (value-added-tax)
