1. Delaware-specific invoice requirements

  • Sales tax line: 0.00% state rate. Most services rendered in Delaware are exempt from sales tax — but materials, parts, and tangible goods are not. No state or local sales tax. Gross receipts tax on businesses instead.
  • Late-fee cap: Delaware statute Del. Code tit. 6, §2301 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 Delaware get 72-hour cancellation rights on certain home-services contracts. Disclose this in your terms.
