1. Utah-specific invoice requirements
- Sales tax line: 4.85% state rate. Most services rendered in Utah are exempt from sales tax — but materials, parts, and tangible goods are not. State 4.85%; combined 6.1-9.05%.
- Late-fee cap: Utah statute Utah Code §15-1-1 caps interest on unpaid invoices at 1.5% per month. Spell out the rate in writing on every invoice and in your contract — courts won't enforce undisclosed fees.
- Right-to-cancel notice: Customers in Utah get 72-hour cancellation rights on certain home-services contracts. Disclose this in your terms.
2. DJ / MC line items + standard terms
Every dj / mc invoice in Utah should itemize work clearly. Standard dj / mcs use Net 14 terms with a 33% deposit required upfront.
- Performance fee — billed by flat.
- Additional hour — billed by hour (~$175 default).
- Lighting package — billed by flat.
- Travel surcharge — billed by flat.
3. DJ / MC licensing in Utah
No license required. ASCAP/BMI/SESAC public-performance licensing recommended. Liability insurance required by most venues.
4. Send and follow up
Send the invoice the same day work completes. Use software that records open events and offers a one-click online payment so you don't need to chase a check by mail. Utah customers expect digital payment options today — accepting card and ACH typically reduces days-to-paid by 30–50%.
