1. Indiana-specific invoice requirements
- Sales tax line: 7.00% state rate. Most services rendered in Indiana are exempt from sales tax — but materials, parts, and tangible goods are not. State 7% uniform; very few local additions.
- Late-fee cap: Indiana statute Ind. Code §24-4.6-1-101 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 Indiana get 72-hour cancellation rights on certain home-services contracts. Disclose this in your terms.
2. Handyman line items + standard terms
Every handyman invoice in Indiana should itemize work clearly. Standard handymans use Net 7 terms with no deposit required.
- Service call / minimum — billed by flat (~$75 default).
- Labor — billed by hour (~$65 default).
- Materials — billed by itemized.
3. Handyman licensing in Indiana
Many states have a "handyman exemption" up to a dollar threshold (e.g., CA $500) above which a contractor license is required.
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. Indiana customers expect digital payment options today — accepting card and ACH typically reduces days-to-paid by 30–50%.
