Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing—easy to find and simple to use.
What’s the difference between an invoice and a bill?

An invoice is a formal request for payment, detailing goods or services provided. A bill is usually a one-time payment request, such as for retail purchases.

How do I handle taxes as a freelancer?

Tax requirements vary by location, but most self-employed professionals must report income taxes. Your invoice should include VAT, GST, or other applicable taxes. It’s a good idea to consult a tax advisor for guidance.

Should I send invoices in PDF or another format?

PDF is the preferred format to maintain layout integrity. With Tofu free templates, you can also create an invoice using Word, Excel, Google Docs, and more.

What should my invoice include?

A complete service invoice should include:

  • Your name/business name and contact info
  • Client details
  • Unique invoice number and invoice date
  • Breakdown of goods or services provided
  • Payment due date and terms
  • The total amount owed, including taxes
