Create your invoice

  1. Replace the business, client, invoice number, dates, and payment instructions with your own details.
  2. Add line items and enter quantities, prices, and applicable tax percentages. Tax rates start at zero so you can choose what applies.
  3. Review each amount and the total. The template rounds amounts and taxes to cents per line before summing them.
  4. Select Print / Save PDF to produce a PDF using your browser. Turn off browser print headers and footers if they add a URL or date.
  5. Select Save editable copy to keep a new HTML file containing your changes. Unsaved changes are lost when the tab closes.

The template does not send invoices or collect payments. Send the PDF using your usual email service and keep a copy for your records.

Information to review before sending

Business and client details

Identify who supplied the goods or services and who is being billed. Add contact details and relevant addresses.

Invoice number and dates

Use a consistent invoice number and record the issue date. Include a due date so your client knows when to pay.

Goods or services

Describe the work clearly and enter its quantity and unit price. The template calculates each line amount.

Tax registration and applicable taxes

Add applicable registration numbers. Check your registration status, place of supply, and whether each item is taxable before entering rates.

Total and payment instructions

Review the calculated subtotal, tax amounts, and total. State the invoice currency and tell your client how to pay.

GST/HST supporting-document requirements depend on the transaction amount and circumstances. This template is a starting point, not a certification of your invoice. Review the CRA information requirements for input tax credits and our provincial tax guide when choosing the details and rates to include.
