First page of the Invoice Sheet — Write an invoice by hand when you need one, in a layout that leaves room for whatever your country requires rather than assuming a set of fields.

What this sheet is for

Write an invoice by hand when you need one, in a layout that leaves room for whatever your country requires rather than assuming a set of fields.

Who it is for

Sole traders, market stalls, casual work, weekend trades, and anyone who invoices occasionally enough that software is not worth it.

How to use it

  1. Number your invoices in a sequence and never reuse a number.
  2. Write what was supplied plainly enough that a stranger could match it to the job.
  3. Label the total lines yourself — subtotal, whatever tax applies, total.
  4. Say how to pay and by when, on the invoice itself.
  5. Keep a copy. How long for depends on where you are.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: A blank invoice: who it is from, who it is to, what was supplied, and how it is to be paid.

The requirements are local, so the fields are blank. What a document like this has to show — business details, tax numbers, wording, how long to keep it — differs by country and by what you sell. Check what applies to you and fill in the blank lines accordingly. This sheet states no requirements and prints no tax rate.

Write-on lines: From — business or your name · Invoice number · Date · Your address and contact · Your reference number, if you have one · To — customer · Their order or reference · Date supplied · Their address

Supplied

Table, 4 rows: Description · Qty · Unit price · Amount

Table, 3 rows: Label these yourself — subtotal, any tax, total · Amount

Write-on lines: How to pay · Due by

Questions

Does this invoice meet the legal requirements where I am?

We cannot say, and we deliberately do not try. Requirements differ by country, by trade and by whether you are registered for a sales tax. That is exactly why the fields are blank rather than pre-labelled — check what applies to you and fill them in.

Why is there no tax rate or calculation?

Because printing one would be wrong for most readers and would be relied on by some of them. The sheet holds your figures; it does not produce them.
