Frequently asked questions
What must a Québec invoice show?
An invoice with taxes must show your name or your business name, the date, a description of the goods or services, the amount before taxes, GST and QST on separate lines, the total, and your GST and QST registration numbers. Without those numbers, your client cannot claim their input tax credits.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. All the calculation and layout happen in your browser. Nothing is transmitted to our servers and nothing is kept on our side. Your draft is saved only in this browser's local storage, and the "Clear all data" button removes it.
How do I get a PDF?
Click "Print or save as PDF", then pick "Save as PDF" as the destination in your browser's print dialog. The form, the FAQ and the rest of the page are not printed — only the invoice appears.
Do I have to charge GST and QST?
Only if you are registered for the tax files. Registration becomes mandatory once your taxable supplies exceed $30,000 over four calendar quarters. Our threshold checker answers the question from your own figures. If you are not registered, uncheck both taxes.
Can I number my invoices any way I like?
The format is up to you, but the numbering must be sequential with no gaps: that is what shows no invoice has been removed from your records. A format such as INV-2026-001 stays readable and sorts correctly.
What a Quebec invoice must show
As soon as you charge taxes, your invoice has to let your client justify their own tax credits. Revenu Québec therefore expects the following:
| Element | Detail |
|---|---|
| Who you are | Business name or your own name |
| Date | Invoice date |
| Description | Nature of the goods or services supplied |
| Amount before taxes | On its own line |
| GST and QST | Two separate lines, showing the rate |
| Total | Amount including all taxes |
| Registration numbers | GST 123456789 RT0001 and QST 1234567890 TQ0001 |
The last one is the most commonly forgotten. Without your registration numbers, a client who is registered for the tax files cannot claim their input tax credit (ITC) or input tax refund (ITR). If they are audited, the claim is denied — and you are the one who gets the call.
The requirements tighten with the amount: above certain thresholds the client’s name and a more detailed description become mandatory. When in doubt, include more information rather than less.
How to calculate GST and QST on an invoice
Both taxes are calculated on the pre-tax amount, independently of each other:
- GST = subtotal × 5%
- QST = subtotal × 9.975%
- Total = subtotal + GST + QST
On an $800 pre-tax invoice:
- GST: $800 × 0.05 = $40.00
- QST: $800 × 0.09975 = $79.80
- Total: $919.80
Each tax line is rounded separately to two decimals. Since January 1, 2013, QST is no longer calculated on an amount that includes GST — there is no tax-on-tax in Quebec anymore.
If you only have the total and need the pre-tax amount, our reverse sales tax calculator works the other way round.
Do you have to charge taxes?
Only if you are registered for the GST and QST files. Registration becomes mandatory once your taxable supplies exceed $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters, or within a single quarter.
Below that threshold you are a small supplier: just uncheck both taxes in the generator and your invoice will show no tax lines at all.
Our do I have to register for GST and QST? tool answers the question from your figures for the last four quarters.
Numbering: the rule not to miss
The format is yours to choose, but the numbering must be sequential with no gaps. That is what shows no invoice has been removed from your records.
A format that works well: INV-2026-001, INV-2026-002, and so on. It stays readable, sorts correctly in a folder, and restarts cleanly each year.
What to avoid: reusing a number, skipping numbers because an invoice was cancelled, or restarting at 1 mid-year. A cancelled invoice is replaced by a credit note — it does not disappear.
Your data stays with you
This generator runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers and we keep no copy of any invoice. Your draft is saved in this browser’s local storage only, so you can come back without retyping everything — the “Clear all data” button removes it immediately.
Worth knowing: if you clear your browsing data, switch browsers or change device, the draft is gone. Save the PDF as soon as the invoice is ready.
Excel template to download
If you would rather work in a spreadsheet, the template below already contains the GST and QST formulas: enter the quantity and unit price, and the totals work themselves out.
When a template is no longer enough
A template is perfect for your first invoices. It starts to show its limits as soon as you need to answer questions like: which invoices are more than 30 days overdue? how much GST did I collect this quarter? which client accounts for the largest share of my revenue?
That is the point where invoicing software takes over: clients and items are saved once, numbering is automatic, and tax reports generate themselves.
