1. Header: Start with the word "Invoice" at the top so it’s clear what the document is.

3. Date of Issue: Include the date when the invoice is created.
4. Seller’s Information: Your business name, address, contact details, and tax ID.
5. Buyer’s Information: The name, address, and contact details of your customer.
6. Description of Goods/Services: List each item or service provided, along with quantities and prices.
7. Subtotal: The total amount before taxes and discounts.
