What should an invoice include?

• Your details — business name, address and a phone number the customer can call.
• Customer details — the name of the person or company you are billing.
• Invoice number and date — a unique number for every invoice makes your record keeping and follow-up much easier.
• Items — a clear description, quantity and rate for each product or service.
• Total and payment terms — the amount due, the due date and how to pay.

Invoice, bill or quotation?

An invoice or bill asks the customer to pay for goods or services already given. A quotation or estimate is sent before the work, to tell the price. You can use this tool for a quotation too — just write "Quotation" in the invoice number box, for example "QUO-015".

Tax on invoices in Pakistan

If your business is registered for sales tax, your invoice must show your NTN and STRN, the tax rate and the tax amount, as required by FBR and your provincial revenue authority. Rates differ for goods and services and by province, so check the current rate before you charge it. If you are not registered, leave the tax at 0. This tool only does the arithmetic; it is not a tax-compliant e-invoice and does not connect to FBR systems.

Tips for getting paid faster

• Send the invoice as soon as the work is done, while it is fresh in the customer's mind.
• Write a clear due date and your bank or mobile wallet details in the notes.
• Keep a copy of every PDF in one folder, named by invoice number.
• Send a polite reminder on WhatsApp a day after the due date.
