1. Idaho-specific invoice requirements

  • Sales tax line: 6.00% state rate. Most services rendered in Idaho are exempt from sales tax — but materials, parts, and tangible goods are not. State 6%; very few local sales taxes (resort cities only).
  • Late-fee cap: Idaho statute Idaho Code §28-22-104 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 Idaho get 72-hour cancellation rights on certain home-services contracts. Disclose this in your terms.

2. Video Editor line items + standard terms

Every video editor invoice in Idaho should itemize work clearly. Standard video editors use Net 30 terms with a 33% deposit required upfront.

  • Hourly editing — billed by hour (~$95 default).
  • Per-finished-minute — billed by flat.
  • Color grading — billed by flat.
  • Audio mix & sound design — billed by flat.

3. Video Editor licensing in Idaho

No license required. Stock footage, music, and SFX licensing must be passed through with explicit terms.

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. Idaho customers expect digital payment options today — accepting card and ACH typically reduces days-to-paid by 30–50%.
