1. Missouri-specific invoice requirements
- Sales tax line: 4.23% state rate. Most services rendered in Missouri are exempt from sales tax — but materials, parts, and tangible goods are not. State 4.225%; combined 7-10% in metros.
- Late-fee cap: Missouri statute Mo. Rev. Stat. §408.020 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 Missouri get 72-hour cancellation rights on certain home-services contracts. Disclose this in your terms.
2. Videographer line items + standard terms
Every videographer invoice in Missouri should itemize work clearly. Standard videographers use Net 14 terms with a 50% deposit required upfront.
- Production day — billed by day (~$1500 default).
- Editing — billed by hour (~$95 default).
- Equipment / drone — billed by itemized.

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