Proforma invoice vs tax invoice
A proforma invoice is a good-faith estimate you send before a sale is finalised — it confirms the items, prices and terms so a buyer can approve the order, arrange an advance or raise a purchase order. It is not a tax invoice — in India, for example, it does not create a GST liability and cannot be used to claim input tax credit. A tax invoice (a GST tax invoice in India, a VAT invoice in VAT countries) is issued after the sale is agreed and is the formal record of the transaction. This generator produces a clean, professional proforma; once your client confirms, convert it into a proper invoice.
Frequently asked questions
What is a proforma invoice?
A proforma invoice is a preliminary bill of sale sent to a buyer before the goods or services are supplied. It states the items, quantities, prices and estimated taxes so the buyer can arrange payment or approval. It is not a demand for payment and is not a tax invoice — in India, for example, it is not a valid GST tax invoice.
How is a proforma invoice different from a tax invoice?
A proforma invoice is an estimate issued before a sale to confirm price and terms. The tax invoice is issued once the sale is agreed and is the document buyers rely on to reclaim tax — in India, the GST tax invoice is what the buyer uses to claim input tax credit, and in VAT countries the VAT invoice plays the same role. Once your deal is confirmed, convert the proforma into a proper invoice.
When should I use a proforma invoice?
Use it to confirm a firm price before you start, request an advance, or help a client's accounts team raise a purchase order. It signals intent to supply on stated terms; the tax itself goes on the actual invoice you raise once the order is confirmed.
Is this proforma invoice generator free?
Yes. Create and download unlimited proforma invoices as PDFs for free, with no sign-up. Everything is built in your browser and never sent to our servers.
Can I turn a proforma into a real invoice?
Yes — once the client confirms, use our free bill and invoice generator for the final invoice, or, if you are GST-registered in India, our free GST Invoice Generator for the tax invoice. And if you would rather keep a client's quotation, agreement, invoice and payments together instead of as loose files, that is what DealInSec does: one thread per deal.
