The example invoice

Boreal Renovations (demo), a bathroom: 52 hours of labour, materials as a flat rate, a 30% deposit.

Each item on its own line lets the client check what they pay for, and turns a change in the work into a new line rather than a surprise.

Questions4 answered

Common questions

Short answers.

01Does a Quebec contractor put an RBQ number on the invoice?

The Régie du bâtiment asks that a contractor’s licence number appear on quotes, contracts and advertising. Put it in the Notes field, for example “RBQ licence 5678-1234-01”.

02What changes from a quote?

The title, the number and the date limit. In the generator, switch from Quote to Invoice: the lines stay.

03Do I add GST and QST?

Only if you are registered for the GST and the QST. Registration becomes mandatory when your taxable sales pass $30,000 in one calendar quarter or over the four calendar quarters before it. Below that, you are a small supplier: switch off “I charge taxes” and the document comes out without taxes.

04Is the generator really free?

Yes. No account, no email to hand over. What you type stays in your browser until you download; the PDF is then drawn on our server and sent back to you. We do not keep your documents.
