My employer makes me bill customers say today for items not delivering to them for several month. Then change the date to sent them the bil?

My employer makes us bill customer now for items they just ordered, sometimes they are not due to come in for months. Then when the items is delivered we have to change the date for the invoice send the bill to the customer, then change it back to the date we billed it in. Also we have to move back any bills we do up until the date he has to pay the taxes, (19th of next month), and move them back to the previous month. So I am still billing work done this month (Jun), after sending to customer change date to May, When he pays taxes May taxes it will have the Jun stuff included. Is this legal?

The customer has a bill with June, or whatever future date they are getting the item, but it was put in with our May taxes.

    Doesn't matter when they pay. Doesn't matter when he pays the taxes so long as he pays them.

    Yes. What you don't seem to understand is that the customer isn't billed on the date the items are ordered, just recorded internally, and adjusted when the sale is complete upon delivery and invoiced with sales tax (or VAT) at that point (not before).

    You are CLUELESS and didn't last 15 minutes in any position that involves accounting.

    If he was cheating on taxes, it would be done the OPPOSITE of what you describe.

    It's false accounting and risky. In countries that have VAT the Revenue people will not be happy.
