What to get right on a software developer / it services invoice
- Tie each line to a milestone in the contract. It is what the client's finance team will check.
- Pass-through costs like hosting go on their own line at cost.
- Companies deduct 5% WHT on professional fees. Your TIN on the invoice means the credit lands on your tax account.
Questions people ask
- Is software development VATable in Nigeria?
- Yes, at 7.5%, once you are above the small-company threshold. Most solo developers are below it.
- Can I invoice a foreign client with this?
- You can, but invoice in their currency and add your international payment details in the notes.
- How do I show a milestone that is partly done?
- Do not. Invoice completed milestones only, and use a proforma for the next one.
