Questions

Is this invoice generator free?

Yes. It is free, needs no signup and nothing you type is sent anywhere. Fill it in, then save it as a PDF with the button, or print it.

When should it say "tax invoice"?

Only when you are VAT registered. Tick the VAT box and the heading changes to TAX INVOICE and 15% VAT is added. If you are not VAT registered, leave it unticked: SARS does not allow a business that is not a VAT vendor to issue a tax invoice. See what must be on a tax invoice.

How is the VAT worked out?

VAT is 15% of the subtotal, rounded to the cent. The total is the subtotal plus VAT. Amounts are shown in rand the South African way, for example R 4 956,50.

Can I keep my invoices and send them on WhatsApp?

This free tool does not save anything. BlitzBooks does: every quotation and invoice is stored, numbered and shareable on WhatsApp, with statements and a VAT report. It costs R200 a month after a 7-day free trial.

Want every invoice saved, numbered and sent on WhatsApp?

Quote on site, invoice before you pack up, and see who owes you on one screen. 7 days free, then R200 a month for the whole business.
