The payment terms are the invoice. The due date, the late fee and the dispute window are what turn an unpaid bill into something you can act on — keep them on even a one-line invoice. Whether sales tax applies to your work, and at what rate, is not something this page knows.

What makes this collectable

The due dateNamed on the face of the invoice, so the term is not “when you can”.

The late feeA stated rate per month, or the maximum the state permits where that is lower.

The dispute windowA deadline for objecting. After it, undisputed amounts stay due on the original terms.

Suspension and collectionsAvailable after the stated days past due, and not before.

Sales taxApplied here as one rate on the subtotal. Whether it applies, and at what rate, is not something this page knows.

Reimbursable expensesBilled as a line like any other. The invoice does not check that a receipt is attached.

A bill with no termsThe adviser note: the payment-terms language is what makes an unpaid invoice enforceable.

Read back from the terms printed on this invoice. Not an opinion on whether a court would enforce them, which turns on the state and on facts a template cannot see.

Adviser note

Use this format for every client invoice. The payment-terms language at the bottom (due date, late fee, and dispute window) is what actually makes an unpaid invoice enforceable — don’t strip it out even for a simple one-line bill.
