Life can be complicated, and so can taxes.
We get it. Sometimes you need to add a tax to just a single item on the invoice. Sometimes, you need to add two taxes. And sometimes...you need to add compounded taxes.
Don’t worry, with Invoice Home you can do it all in a snap.
Here’s how!
Desktop
1. Sign in to Invoice Home here.
2. Create a new invoice, or open an existing invoice in your document list and click the edit tab.
