What must a electrician invoice include in South Africa?
Whether or not you are VAT-registered, a professional invoice for electrical work should show the following. If you are a VAT vendor, SARS requires a full tax invoice for supplies over R5 000:
- ✓The word “Invoice” (or “Tax Invoice” if VAT-registered) shown clearly
- ✓Your business name, contact details and VAT number (if VAT-registered)
- ✓The customer’s name (and VAT number for invoices of R5 000 or more)
- ✓A unique, sequential invoice number and the date of issue
- ✓A description of the goods or services supplied
- ✓The price, the VAT charged (15%) and the total due
Common questions
Is this invoice template really free?
Yes — completely free, no sign-up and no watermark. Fill it in, download the PDF and send it to your customer. If you later want to send invoices via WhatsApp and track who has paid, you can create a free InvoiceSA account.
Is the invoice SARS-compliant?
It includes the fields SARS expects on a tax invoice: your business details, VAT number (if registered), an invoice number and date, a description of the work, and 15% VAT shown either added on top or extracted from VAT-inclusive prices.
Should a Certificate of Compliance be on the invoice?
List the COC as its own line item so the customer can see exactly what they are paying for. The certificate itself is a separate legal document, but showing the fee on the invoice avoids disputes.
How do I charge a call-out fee on the invoice?
Add the call-out fee as the first line item with a quantity of 1. If you waive it when the customer accepts a bigger job, simply remove the line before downloading.
