An invoice is a document that specifies the details of the contractor. According to them, the customer will subsequently make a payment. At the same time, the self-employed has no obligation to prepare such papers. For him, even the conclusion of a contract is not always necessary. The most important document for him is a receipt, which he forms in the "My Tax" application.
The self-employed is not obliged, but can issue invoices for payment.
Another thing is that this is not always justified. For example, a person makes candles and sells them to customers — ordinary people. Customers simply transfer money, receive their receipts and track number to keep track of the parcel.
However, sometimes the self-employed have to cooperate with organizations or entrepreneurs who want to be billed. This helps them simplify their interaction: there is an invoice — there is a payment for it. Usually such a need is prescribed in the contract (of course, in such cases it is, because it is already clear that the company pays a lot of attention to securities).
And if the need to issue an invoice is fixed, it becomes an obligation. Therefore, it is important to know how to do it.
Since this process is not regulated by laws for the self-employed, until recently it could be done literally as you like: download a template on the Internet, request it from the customer ...
Now everything has become much easier, because the billing function has been added to the "My Tax" application. In the browser version of the service, this option is also available.
Click on the "New Sale" button.
Fill in the lines with the cost and type of product or service. Select the status of the customer — "Legal entity or sole proprietor" (there is simply no need for an individual to issue an invoice). Enter the INN of the company and its name. Click on the "Issue invoice" bar.
The application will generate a document in the format PDF, which can be sent to the customer.
