Question 1

Where is my invoice data stored?

Accepted Answer

Entirely in your browser. Your own details, logo, and recent clients are saved to your device's localStorage and never transmitted to our servers — we literally don't have a database. When you download the PDF it's generated in-browser too. Clearing your browser data (or using the 'Clear saved data' button) wipes everything.

Question 2

GST, HST, or PST — what rate applies?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the client's province. Alberta, BC, Manitoba, NWT, Nunavut, Québec, Saskatchewan, Yukon: 5% GST (plus any provincial sales tax separately). Ontario: 13% HST. New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, PEI: 15% HST. Québec adds 9.975% QST on top of GST, often charged as a combined line. The template defaults to 13% (Ontario HST); adjust for your client's province and your registration status. If your taxable revenue is under $30,000/year, registration is optional.

Question 3

Do I need to show my GST/HST number on the invoice?

Accepted Answer

Yes — if you're registered, your 9-digit GST/HST number must appear on any invoice over $30 (CRA rules for input tax credits). Include it in the 'GST/HST Number' field. If you're not registered, leave the field blank and set the tax rate to 0%.

Question 4

Can I add my own logo?

Accepted Answer

Yes — upload a PNG or JPG and it'll appear in the invoice header and PDF. The image is stored locally in your browser, not uploaded anywhere. Keep logo files under about 1 MB for best performance.

Question 5

Does the invoice number auto-increment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The number you enter is remembered in your browser, and the next invoice will suggest the next number up. You can always override it manually if you prefer a custom scheme (date-based, client-based, sequential with a prefix, etc).

Question 6

Is this suitable for business or tax filings?

Accepted Answer

The invoice includes every standard field (invoice number, dates, line items, subtotal, tax, total, payment terms, and notes) and outputs a clean PDF ready to send. It's perfectly fine for freelance and small-business invoicing. It is not a substitute for accounting software for bookkeeping or tax returns — for that you'd want FreshBooks, Xero, QuickBooks, or similar.

Question 7
