Here's exactly what a proper Canadian invoice needs to include so you get paid on time and stay tax-ready. Copy the structure, or let LQID build and send it for you.
Your business name, address, and — if you're registered — your GST/HST number. The HST number is required on invoices once you're registered.
Who you're billing, plus a unique, sequential invoice number (e.g. INV-2026-0042) so you and the CRA can track it.
The invoice date and the payment due date. Spell out your terms — Net 7, 14, or 30.
A clear description, quantity, and rate per item, the subtotal, the GST/HST charged (with the rate), and the grand total.
Your accepted payment methods — e-transfer, cheque, card — and any reference the client should include.
LQID builds branded invoices, emails them, and reserves the tax the moment you're paid.
