What should an invoice include?
A clear invoice gets paid faster. Whatever your country, a professional invoice should include:
- Your business name, address and contact details, plus your tax ID (GSTIN, VAT number) if you're registered
- Your client's name and address, and their tax ID for business-to-business invoices
- A unique invoice number, the invoice date and the payment due date
- Each product or service with quantity, rate and amount
- Subtotal, any discount, tax broken down by rate, and the total due
- How to pay: bank details, UPI ID or a payment link
