A tax invoice is an invoice that states the tax charged on a sale separately from the amount before tax, so the buyer can reclaim or account for it. This generator lets you define any tax by name and rate — VAT, GST, sales tax or your own — charge it inclusive or exclusive of your prices, and print a clear breakdown. Free, no signup.
Nothing here is hardcoded to one country. Name the tax whatever your jurisdiction calls it, set a percentage or a fixed amount, and apply it per line item.
Charge tax on top of your prices, or mark it inclusive and have the tax contained in the price extracted — the arithmetic is exact either way, with no residual cent.
Apply more than one tax to the same line — a state and a federal tax, or a split like CGST and SGST — and each appears separately in the summary.
Taxes are applied per line item, so zero-rated and exempt items simply have no tax attached while the rest of the invoice is taxed normally.
Every tax invoice is an invoice, but not every invoice is a tax invoice. The difference is that a tax invoice states the tax as a separate, identifiable amount — the taxable value, the rate applied, and the tax charged — because the buyer usually needs those numbers to reclaim the tax or to account for it. A plain invoice may simply state a total.
If you are registered for VAT, GST or an equivalent, the invoices you issue for taxable supplies generally need to be tax invoices, and the registration number of both parties is usually required. Enter yours in the business section and your customer's in the bill-to section and both print on the document.
Exclusive is the common B2B case: a £100 line with 20% VAT exclusive shows a £100 taxable value, £20 tax, and a £120 total. The customer sees exactly what was added.
Inclusive is the common consumer case: a £120 line with 20% VAT inclusive shows an £100 taxable value, £20 tax, and a £120 total — the price you advertised is the price paid, and the tax is disclosed as the portion contained within it. We derive the tax as gross minus net rather than as a percentage of gross, which is why the parts always sum back to the price exactly.
It states the tax separately — the value before tax, the rate, and the tax amount — rather than only a total, and normally carries the tax registration number of the supplier.
Yes. Define as many taxes as you need and apply any combination to each line item. Each one is totalled separately in the tax summary.
Yes. Tax is applied per line, so leave the tax off any zero-rated or exempt item and the rest of the invoice is unaffected.
Yes. Inclusive tax is extracted from the price as gross minus net, so the taxable value and tax always add back to exactly the price you charged, with no rounding drift.
