Frequently Asked Questions

What is an hourly invoice template?

An hourly invoice template is a document used to bill clients for services provided on an hourly basis. The template includes sections for hours worked, your hourly rate, and the total amount due. You may also add additional business information and a due date if necessary. FreshBooks offers a very simple template that makes it easier for both you and your client to understand your charges.

How do I use an hourly invoice template?

To use an hourly invoice template, first, fill in your business and client details and add a unique invoice number. Then, list your services, hours worked, and hourly rates. Finally, calculate the total for each service and add any taxes or extra charges. You can also use FreshBooks to automate invoicing every time you need to send a new invoice instead of going through all these steps.

Can I customize an hourly invoice template to fit my business needs?

FreshBooks makes it easy to customize hourly invoice templates for any client or project. Simply download the hourly invoice template and add all the information you need, and you are ready to send it. You may also download the invoice templates by FreshBooks in any file format, such as Word, Excel, Google Docs, Google Sheets, or PDF.

Is there a specific format that hourly invoices need to follow in Canada?

In Canada, there is no strict legal format that hourly invoices must follow. However, there is certain information that you must include in order to follow tax regulations if you are registered for GST or HST. This information includes:

  • Your business name
  • Your business number
  • Your address
  • Client’s name and address
  • Description of services
  • Rate and hours
  • Invoice number

If you charge GST or HST, list these separately on your invoice with your tax registration number. The hourly invoice template by FreshBooks for Canada includes sections for this purpose.

Are there any legal requirements for hourly invoices in Canada?

There are no legal requirements for hourly invoices in Canada unless you are registered for GST or HST. If you are, then you must include your Business Number, the client’s name and address, a unique invoice number, and the date. You must also list your GST and/or HST separately with your tax registration number. This is why it’s important to choose an hourly invoice template that includes these sections if you are registered for GST or HST.
