I problemi che hai davvero

Manual VAT math goes wrong

One mistyped percentage in a spreadsheet and your invoice, your books, and your VAT return all disagree.

Clients want the breakdown

Business clients need net, VAT, and gross clearly separated to book your invoice. A bare total creates back-and-forth.

Mixed-rate invoices are painful

Selling items at different tax rates on one invoice turns a simple bill into a calculation exercise.

Set the rate, we do the rest

Assign a tax rate to each line item and Lemon Invoice computes the net, tax, and gross totals automatically, consistently across quotes, invoices, and credit notes. The breakdown prints clearly on the PDF, so clients can book your invoice without questions.

Come funziona

Create your free account

Sign up with your email and you're generating invoices within a minute: no credit card, and nothing to install before you can add your first VAT rate. Because it runs entirely in the browser, setting up VAT-ready invoicing takes the same amount of time whether you're VAT-registered already or just anticipating the day you will be.

Add your business and clients

Set up your business profile and default VAT rates, then add your clients and products. Each product can carry its own tax rate, so you don't re-enter it on every invoice. If you're moving off a spreadsheet where VAT was calculated by hand, import your client and product list in bulk instead of retyping rates alongside every name.

Send your first invoice

Assign a VAT rate to each line item (mix rates on the same invoice if your products or services are taxed differently), and Lemon Invoice works out the net, VAT, and gross totals for you, printed clearly on the PDF before you send it as an attachment or a link. Every subsequent invoice, quote, and credit note follows the same tax logic automatically.

Cosa ottieni

Per-line tax rates

Different rates on one invoice, each computed and subtotaled correctly.

Clear tax breakdown

Net, VAT, and gross shown separately on every document.

Consistent across documents

Quotes, invoices, and credit notes share the same tax logic: no drift.

Multi-currency + tax

Bill foreign clients in their currency with the tax lines intact.

Accountant-ready export

Totals and tax amounts export cleanly for your VAT return prep.

VAT on every invoice, handled correctly

An invoice generator with VAT built in should mean you never do the tax math by hand again, not just that a VAT field exists somewhere on the form. Assign a rate to each line item (0%, a lower rate, a higher rate, whatever applies to that product), and Lemon Invoice calculates the net, VAT, and gross totals automatically, correctly subtotaled even when a single invoice mixes several different rates across its line items. Sell products taxed at different rates on the same order, and the invoice still totals correctly without you working out which lines to add together by hand.

The breakdown that lands on the PDF is the same format a business client's accounts team expects: net amount, VAT broken out per rate, and a gross total that adds up without anyone double-checking it by hand. That consistency carries across every document type: a quote shows the same tax logic as the invoice it converts into, and a credit note issued against a VAT invoice mirrors the original rate rather than introducing a new calculation to reconcile. A client who books their own accounts payable off your invoice never has to guess which figure is the one they should be recording.

VAT doesn't stop mattering once a client is abroad. Bill an international client in their own currency and the tax breakdown still prints correctly alongside it, so a foreign client's finance team sees the same clear net, VAT, and gross format as a domestic one, just in a different currency. None of this replaces an accountant or files a return on your behalf. It produces consistent, correctly calculated totals that are straightforward to hand off, whether that's to your own accountant at quarter-end or plugged directly into your own VAT return preparation.

Getting a rate wrong once, in a spreadsheet, is usually how a whole quarter's numbers stop matching. Setting the rate per line item instead of per invoice means a mixed order (different rates on different lines) comes out right the first time, and every invoice built from your saved products carries the correct rate forward automatically rather than depending on someone remembering to re-enter it. Save a product once with its correct rate attached, and every invoice, quote, and credit note that references it afterward inherits the same rate without anyone having to check it again.

Domande e risposte

Can I use different VAT rates on one invoice?+

Yes. Each line item carries its own tax rate, and the invoice shows a correct subtotal per rate.

Does the invoice show amounts with and without VAT?+

Yes. Documents show net amounts, the VAT per rate, and the gross total: the format business clients and accountants expect.

Does Lemon Invoice file my VAT return?+

No. It prepares the numbers. You get clean, consistent totals to hand to your accountant or plug into your filing.

What does an invoice generator with VAT cost?+

There's a free plan that includes VAT-ready invoicing (per-line rates, and clear net, VAT, and gross totals) alongside quotes and payment tracking. Paid plans add capacity as your business grows. There's no separate charge or upgrade needed just to turn VAT calculation on.

Can I invoice international clients and still get a correct VAT breakdown?+

Yes. Bill a client in their own currency and the invoice still shows the net, VAT, and gross breakdown clearly, calculated from the rate you set on each line. Your dashboard reports consolidate totals back into your home currency regardless of which currency any individual invoice was issued in, so a mix of local and foreign clients never turns your VAT records into several disconnected reports.

Can I hand these VAT totals straight to my accountant?+

Yes. Export your invoices and payments in one click, with net, VAT, and gross figures already broken out and consistent across every document, instead of an accountant re-checking totals a spreadsheet calculated by hand. It doesn't file anything on your behalf. It just gets the numbers into a shape they can actually use.

What if I need to correct a VAT amount after the invoice is sent?+

Issue a credit note against the original invoice rather than editing the totals directly. The credit note carries the same per-line VAT logic as the invoice it corrects, so the tax breakdown stays accurate and your numbering sequence stays intact for whoever reconciles the account later.
