For tracking hours see Tracking hours, for creating and sending an invoice see Creating and sending an invoice, and for how your invoices look see Designing invoices & your brand. Here's the rest: VAT exceptions, reminders, recurring invoices, fixed-price projects and your archive.
VAT
Peil applies 21% VAT by default. Two exceptions:
- KOR: if you've enrolled in the small-business VAT exemption scheme, VAT is set to 0% and the required legal disclaimer appears on the PDF automatically. See KOR.
- Reverse charge: for cross-border business clients (B2B within the EU) you can apply reverse charge. Peil shows the corresponding legal text on the invoice.
Invoice design
The look of your invoices — template, colors, typography and logo — is set in the design editor, together with your invoice email and the client portal. It's covered separately in Designing invoices & your brand.
Automatic reminders
Peil sends automatic reminders for unpaid invoices. You choose the weekday and time reminders go out, via Settings → Reminders. Each invoice tracks how many reminders have been sent and when the last one was.
Recurring invoices
On an invoice you can set a recurrence schedule: weekly, monthly, quarterly or a custom interval. Peil automatically generates the next invoice at the set moment and places it as a draft, so you can still check it before sending.
Fixed-price projects
For fixed-price work you use a project of type "Fixed". Peil tracks how much of the total project budget has already been invoiced. Once the full budget is paid, Peil completes the project automatically. You see this as a notice on the invoice list and in the project overview.
Invoice archive
All invoice PDFs are available via Export. You can download them one at a time from the invoice page, or fetch all PDFs at once as a ZIP. See also Export data.
Dutch tax law requires you to keep invoices for 7 years. Export your PDF archive regularly and store it in an external location.
