Invoice a freelance job or an agreed billing period
List the client, agreed project or service dates, work delivered, quantities or hours and your own agreed rates. Check your GST registration and the actual treatment of each item before exporting.
Use separate lines for work and agreed expenses. An invoice is a payment document; it does not establish copyright ownership or replace the agreement about your work.
For the next job or billing period, create a new invoice and check the number, dates and client. Reopening or downloading the old invoice again is not a new job.
