If you have been in business for long you are undoubtedly already aware of what taxes and the fact that in one way or another everyone has to pay their share of sales taxes. What you may not be aware of is what a tax invoice is and how it is used. If are on the supply side of business you will need to have a tax invoice template that will allow you to supply your customer  with a tax invoice so that one of you can prove to the government that sales taxes have been paid.

In order for another business owner to be able to claim a sales tax credit for any purchases over $50 they must have a tax invoice.  As the supplier of the goods or services you are required to supply your customer, whether they are an individual or a registered business, with a tax invoice with 28 days of one being requested or be liable for some severe penalties under tax law.

The reason for using a tax invoice template is that since no two sales are likely to be the same the template will allow you to quickly enter in all of the appropriate information and generate an invoice for your customers.  By law your customer must have a tax invoice for all sales of between $50 and $1,000 to be able to claim the sales tax credit. If by some chance you did not issue them one or they have lost tier copy, you can easily use the template to generate them a replacement that will allow them to still claim the credit.

For anything that is less than $50 a tax invoice is not required, but you should still keep a record of the sales for your customers just in case they should ask for an invoice. Because of the different rules regarding sales tax your template should offer you plenty of flexibility. For example the laws covering sales of over $1,000 are more complex and the tax invoice must show your business name, tax number, the name and address of your customer along with the date it was issued. It must also show the items sold or the services provided and have the words “Tax Invoice” prominently printed on the face of the invoice.

Because tax laws are so exacting you need to have a tax invoice template that gives you the ability to printout a variety of invoices that are designed to make sure your customers can claim the tax credits and you can pay the taxes on time. This way neither of you will ever have to worry about being audited by the IRS.
