Invoices are more than just a way for your customers to pay you. They also help manage your cash flow, track your time and understand your tax.
Managing your cash flow
Invoices can show you patterns in your sales so you can see when people are buying certain products, and what products are selling best.

Including your time on invoices also helps to set expectations with your customers so that they know how time factors into the cost and what to expect in the future.

Regular invoices do not include a GST component because the business is not registered for GST.
