Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is there a placeholder for tax? I need to list the taxes as a separate amount on my agreements.

    • Unfortunately not. While the taxes will show as a separate line item on the invoice, there is not currently a placeholder available to show the tax amount separately in an agreement or communication like email or text.
