The tax line is left blank on purpose: rates and rules vary by state and locality, and you enter your own rate in the generator.
Why it's laid out like that
The lines follow how the job was actually priced: a diagnostic or trip charge, labor by the hour or by the fixture, materials, and any permit or inspection fee passed through at cost. Each part is separately checkable, which is the whole point — a customer who can verify the bill pays it.
On completion for service work. On permitted jobs, invoice after the inspection passes so the customer has nothing left to hold payment against.
Common questions
- Should permits appear on the invoice?
- Yes, as a clearly labeled pass-through line at cost, with the permit number if you have it. It reassures the customer and documents the job.
- Is a repair different from a capital improvement for tax?
- In several states, yes — new installation work and repairs are treated differently. Check with your state revenue department before deciding how to tax a job.
- How do I invoice a job the inspector hasn't signed off yet?
- Invoice for the work completed and note that final inspection is pending, or hold a stated retainage line until sign-off.
