Need an invoice for another country?

This invoice includes the details usually required in Canada. Rules change and depend on your business, so check with your accountant. The tool adds up what you type and applies the rate you pick. It does not make an invoice valid or compliant.

What an invoice in Canada usually shows

The CRA lists GST at 5% in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, Saskatchewan and Yukon, and HST at 13% in Ontario, 14% in Nova Scotia (since 1 April 2025) and 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island. British Columbia (7%), Manitoba (7%), Saskatchewan (6%) and Quebec (9.975%) also have a provincial tax. A supplier shows its GST/HST registration number on invoices for taxable supplies of $100 or more, along with the tax charged and the invoice date, total and what was supplied.

  • PST and QST apply to some goods and services and not others, so it is off until you turn it on. It is worked out on the price without GST, as the CRA describes.
  • The rate follows the province you pick. If your sale is taxed by where the customer is, pick that province.

E-invoicing

Canada has no mandatory e-invoicing for ordinary business invoices, and a PDF is the usual format. Rules change and depend on your business, so check with your accountant.

Questions

Is this invoice generator free?

Yes. Make as many as you like, with no account. The PDF has a small "Made with ruam.ai" line at the bottom.

Is a invoice from this tool valid in Canada?

This invoice includes the details usually required in Canada. Rules change and depend on your business, so check with your accountant.

Does it work out tax for me?

It applies the rate you choose to the amounts you type. Which rate applies to what you sell is for you and your accountant to decide.

Where are my drafts and saved clients kept?

In this browser, on this device. Nothing is sent to Ruam. Clearing site data or using a private window removes them, so download the PDF of anything you need to keep.

How do I get a PDF?

Press Download PDF and choose Save as PDF in the print window. Only the invoice is printed, and the text stays selectable. If a required field is empty, it turns red and the download waits.

Can I bring in hours from a spreadsheet or time tracker?

Yes. Use Import from CSV above the totals. Columns such as date, description, hours and rate are recognized, and any bad row is listed so you can fix it. Ruam paid plans export hours as CSV by person or project.

The hours for your invoice, already counted.

Ruam counts work hours on its own, by project and client, with no screenshots. When it is time to invoice, the hours are already there.
