How to invoice in Canada

What a valid invoice must include

• Your business name, the date and the total
• Your GST/HST registration number and the tax charged (from CAD 100)
• Customer's name, payment terms and a description of the supply (from CAD 500)

Good to know

Services supplied to customers outside Canada are often zero-rated. Check the export rules for your service.

Invoicing Canada clients from abroad

If you are not based in Canada, the rules of your own country usually decide what goes on the invoice. Business-to-business services supplied across borders are often outside the scope of local tax or fall under reverse charge. Invoice in CAD if your client prefers it, so they pay the exact amount.
