Frequently Asked Questions

Can I include terms and conditions on my self-employed invoice?

Yes, your self-employed invoice can be customised to include terms and conditions. Providing clear terms gives clarity to both parties and helps avoid any disputes. Within your terms and conditions, consider adding acceptable payment methods, late fees, payment due dates, and the currency you deal in.

What options do I have for accepting online payments on my self-employed invoice?

After sending your client an invoice, you can accept payments online through credit card, debit card, services such as PayPal, or money transfer. FreshBooks invoicing software accepts online payments directly on invoices with a variety of options, along with other advanced features, including invoice scheduling, mobile invoice creation, and more.

Can I add late payment fees to my self-employed invoice?

Yes, late payment fees can be added to self-employed invoices. Customise the payment terms to include these details. Clearly state the payment details, including the total amount of the fee, the invoice date, the due date, and any grace periods. FreshBooks invoicing software makes this simple by allowing you to automate payment reminders and charge late fees.

How long should I keep copies of my self-employed invoices for record-keeping purposes?

Itā€™s recommended to keep copies of your self-employed invoices for at least six years. This aligns with HMRC guidelines for record-keeping to ensure you have the necessary information on hand for tax purposes and potential audits. FreshBooks invoicing software ensures you always have these files on hand by keeping all your invoices together on the cloud forever.

Should I provide a breakdown of services or products on my self-employed invoice?

Yes, on your self-employed invoice, be sure to include a breakdown of your services or products. This is one of the most important elements of the invoice and gives your client a clear breakdown of their charges to offer transparency between both parties. It can also help in tax and accounting purposes to have a clear understanding of the transaction.
