How to issue your first invoice?

For freelancers and limited companies · Updated 4 May 2026

1. Sign in and open Invoices section

Click Invoices in the left sidebar. If empty, you'll see an empty state with Issue first invoice button.

2. Fill in the basics

Invoice number — Bezúčto auto-suggests next sequential (e.g. 2026001). Editable, must be unique within the year.
Customer — start typing company name. Bezúčto auto-completes from Slovak business register (RPO) by company ID. New contact? Fill manually.
Issue date — pre-filled with today.
Due date — pre-filled +14 days (configurable in Settings).

3. Add line items

Click + Add item and fill in:

Description — service or goods (e.g. "Web application development")
Quantity — defaults to 1
Unit price — without VAT
VAT rate — 23 % (standard), 19 %, 5 %, or 0 %. If you're not VAT-registered, this section is hidden.

💡 Tip: Bezúčto supports per-item VAT — mix books at 5 % + goods at 23 % in a single invoice. KV DPH XML automatically splits into multiple A1 rows.

4. Review summary and save

Bottom right shows:

Subtotal — without VAT
VAT — calculated per rate
Total — to be paid

Click Save. Invoice is recorded and an automatic accounting entry is created (DR 311 / CR 602 + 343 for VAT).

5. Send to customer

After saving, you can:

Download PDF — for printing or manual email
Send via email — Bezúčto sends from [email protected] with PDF attachment
Generate Peppol UBL 2.1 XML — for the 2027 e-invoicing duty (mandatory for VAT payers from 1 Jan 2027, domestic B2B and B2G)

FAQ

Where do I add my IBAN to display on invoices?

Go to Settings → Company info → IBAN. Once saved, it's automatically added to all future invoices including Pay-by-Square QR code (mandatory from 1 March 2026).

Can I edit an invoice after saving?

Yes, unless the period is locked (after VAT/year-end submission). Cancellation creates a reverse accounting entry, full history preserved via audit log.

How do I issue a credit note?

Open the original invoice → ⋯ menu → Issue credit note. Bezúčto creates a new invoice with negative values and links via storno_id.
