What must a plumber invoice include in South Africa?
Whether or not you are VAT-registered, a professional invoice for plumbing 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 I charge VAT on emergency plumbing call-outs?
Only if you are registered as a VAT vendor with SARS. If you are, switch on 15% VAT above and it applies to the whole invoice, including the call-out.
How do I invoice for a geyser replacement?
List the geyser as a materials line, the installation as a labour line, and any COC or drip-tray work separately. Itemising protects you if the customer claims from insurance.
