Your invoice should make it easy for the customers to issue payment and include all the essential information. Here's our handy checklist you should make sure you include;
1. Invoice number
By including an invoice number you can easily identify transactions.
2. Invoice Date
Clarify obligations for both the issuer and recipient.
3. Payment Terms/Due Date
Adding payment terms and a due date to your invoices makes it clear for the recipient to pay you on time and acknowledge any late payment terms.
4. VAT Amount
By adding the total VAT amount, makes it clear for the recipient to see the whole amount due.
5. VAT Number
The purpose of a VAT number is to help identify VAT-registered businesses.
6. Bank Details
Including your bank details on your invoice, makes it easier for the recipient to pay you.

By the time I got around to securing some late payments from a few clients after threading up with a big thesis binding job in Canada, I wish I had used one such checklist! Missing VAT details kept delaying matters, and so also did vague payment terms. This guide is so useful, especially for reminding you to put in more information about bank and invoice numbers. A small thing, really, but such a huge difference! Anyone in the academic scene, such as thesis binding canada, should consider this invoice checklist. Thanks for sharing!
Your invoice checklist is a lifesaver for small businesses like mine. One thing I’d add is the importance of using professional invoice book printing in the UAE to elevate your brand’s credibility. After switching to a locally printed invoice book with customized details (logo, sequential numbering, and VAT-compliant fields), my clients noticed the polished look instantly, which boosted trust and reduced payment delays.
