AI Summary

Form C issuance depends on whether the purchaser is a disclosed agent; seller may require the purchaser's Form C. Who must issue Form C where invoices name an intermediary who buys on behalf of a disclosed principal is the core question: whether the seller may accept the principal's Form C when the intermediary is the billed and paying party, and whether invoice identity determines entitlement to accept VAT/CST declarations; the expert response merely refers to another issue (Issue Id: 109557) without substantive guidance.
