Canada Photography Invoice Template
Canadian photographers registered for GST/HST must include their BN and collect tax on taxable supplies. Photography services are generally taxable at the applicable rate. Commercial licensing is treated as a taxable supply. Photography invoices cover creative services including shoots, editing, licensing, and print fulfillment. As a photographer, your invoice communicates the full scope of your work — from pre-production planning and travel to post-processing hours and usage rights. Clearly distinguishing between service fees and licensing fees is important both for tax purposes and to protect your intellectual property.
