๐ Quick Answer
A professional invoice must include: your business name, NTN (if registered), client details, invoice number, date, itemized services, GST (17%), and payment terms. Use our free tool to generate one in seconds.
An invoice is a formal document issued by a seller or service provider to request payment for goods or services delivered. For Pakistani freelancers working on Upwork, Fiverr, or with direct clients, invoices serve multiple critical purposes:
Unlike receipts (issued after payment) or quotations (price estimates before work), an invoice is issued after work is completed and requests payment. See Section 4 for the full comparison.
For registered businesses in Pakistan, invoices must comply with FBR requirements:
| Requirement | Detail | Who It Applies To |
|---|---|---|
| NTN Number | National Tax Number from FBR IRIS | All registered taxpayers |
| STRN (Sales Tax Reg No.) | If registered for Sales Tax | Businesses with annual turnover > Rs. 10 million |
| GST Rate | 17% standard rate on goods | GST-registered businesses |
| Service Tax | 16% in Punjab; varies by province | Service providers registered for SRB/PRA/BRA |
| Invoice Number | Sequential, unique per client | All businesses |
Freelancers earning under Rs. 600,000/year are exempt from income tax but should still maintain invoices for documentation. Use our Freelancer Tax Calculator to estimate your tax obligations.
| Document | When Issued | Purpose | Payment Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quotation / Estimate | Before work starts | Price proposal | No payment yet |
| Invoice | After work is done | Payment request | Payment due |
| Receipt | After payment received | Proof of payment | Payment received |
| Pro-Forma Invoice | Before delivery | Advance payment request | Advance/deposit |

Standard Pakistani GST is 17% on goods. Services are taxed by provincial authorities (SRB in Sindh at 13%, PRA in Punjab at 16%, BRA in Balochistan at 15%, KPK at 15%). If you are not registered for sales tax, you may invoice without GST but cannot claim input tax.
NTN is mandatory if you are registered with FBR. Even if not registered, including your CNIC number on domestic invoices is recommended for professionalism and documentation.
Use USD (or the client's currency) for international clients. This ensures clarity and avoids exchange rate disputes. Toggle to USD in the currency selector. For PSEB-registered freelancers, foreign currency income may be tax-exempt โ check our Freelancer Tax Calculator.
