Common Questions
Quick answers to your billing concerns.
What is the most important information to include on an invoice? +
Every invoice must legally include a unique invoice number, your full company details, your client's details, a clear description of services/goods, the issue date, payment due date, and the total amount due. Missing any of these can delay payment.
Are these resources and templates really free? +
Yes. MyInvoiceTemplate.com operates on a 'freemium-free' model. All our guides, templates, and the PDF generator tool are 100% free to use without watermarks or limits. We support this through ethical partnerships, not by charging users.
How do I handle international clients and different currencies? +
For international billing, you should use a Commercial Invoice or Multi-Currency Invoice. Ensure you include IBAN/SWIFT bank details and specify the currency code (e.g., USD, EUR). Our specialized guides in the 'Global Trade' section cover this in detail.
Do I need an accountant to create an invoice? +
No. While an accountant helps with tax filing, you can create legal, professional invoices yourself using our tools. However, for complex VAT/GST situations, we always recommend consulting our tax compliance guides or a local professional.
