Professional, branded invoices, sales tax where it applies, and easy ACH or card payments so US clients pay you faster. All on one flat plan.
The US has no federal sales tax, and there is no mandated invoice format for most B2B sales. What matters is a clean, professional invoice that makes it easy for clients to pay by ACH or card, and reminders that chase the payment for you. Billbooks does exactly that.
Get paid by ACH or card
Add payment options so clients pay straight from the invoice, and connect your own gateway to keep processing costs down.
Chase Net-30 without the awkwardness
Automatic reminders nudge clients as the due date nears and passes, so you never have to send the follow-up yourself.
Sales tax where it applies
Apply the correct sales-tax rate for the states where you collect, and leave it off where the sale is not taxable.
Unlike most countries, the US has no federal VAT or GST. Sales tax is set at the state and local level, so combined rates range from 0% to over 10% depending on the address. Five states have no statewide sales tax: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon, though Alaska allows local sales taxes. If you sell across state lines you may cross a state economic nexus threshold and have to collect its sales tax. Billbooks lets you add the right rate to an invoice where you need to, and leave it off where you do not.
The US does not mandate a specific invoice format for most sales, but a clear, professional invoice should include these. Billbooks builds them in.

It depends on where you are and what you sell. The US has no federal VAT or GST. Sales tax is set at state and local level, with combined rates from 0% to over 10%, and Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon have no statewide sales tax.
In most states professional services are not taxable, though some states tax specific services, and rules differ by state and by what you sell. Billbooks lets you set tax rates per client and per line so a taxable and a non-taxable invoice both come out correct.
No. Billbooks records the sales tax you charge on each invoice, but it does not calculate nexus or file returns with any state. You or your accountant do that. Billbooks is invoicing software, not a sales tax compliance service.
Yes. Billbooks issues invoices in the client currency while you keep reporting in US dollars, with the exchange rate recorded at the invoice date, which suits US businesses billing clients in Europe, Canada or Asia.
Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon have no statewide sales tax, though local jurisdictions in Alaska may still levy one. Everywhere else combined state and local rates range from under 2% to over 10%.
Nexus is the connection that obliges you to collect sales tax in a state, created by physical presence or by passing that state's economic thresholds. It determines where you must register. Billbooks records the tax you charge but does not determine nexus for you.
There is no federal invoice format, but a unique sequential number is standard practice and most accounts payable systems require one to process payment. Billbooks numbers invoices sequentially and will not reuse a number.
No. For most business-to-business sales there is no legally mandated invoice format. A professional invoice should still include your details, a unique number and date, itemized lines, any sales tax, the total, and clear payment terms, all of which Billbooks handles.
Yes. You can apply the correct sales-tax rate to an invoice for the states where you collect. Rates vary by state and locality, so check your obligations in each state where you have nexus.
Connect a payment gateway so clients pay by card or ACH straight from the invoice. Billbooks lets you bring your own gateway, so your processing rate stays in your control.
Yes. Clean, numbered invoices and reports make it easier to reconcile with the 1099-NEC forms your clients issue. Note the 1099-NEC reporting threshold rose to $2,000 for 2026 payments onward, up from $600.
