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: either a recurring per-visit maintenance charge or a one-off project priced by crew hours plus materials and disposal. Each part is separately checkable, which is the whole point — a customer who can verify the bill pays it.

Monthly in arrears for recurring maintenance accounts, on completion for installs and cleanups. Monthly billing gets paid more reliably than per-visit slips.

Common questions

Should I invoice per visit or monthly?
Monthly, with the visit dates listed. Fewer invoices, fewer missed payments, and the customer can see exactly what they got.
How do I charge for hauling debris away?
As its own line with the volume or number of loads. Dump fees are a real cost and customers accept them when they are shown, not when they are hidden in labor.
Can I bill for a visit the customer skipped?
Only if your terms say so. Put the skip and cancellation policy in your terms, then apply it consistently.
