Struggling with my freelance design invoices today

[rexoj]

Hi everyone,

I've recently started taking on international clients for my graphic design business, but the administrative side is proving to be much harder than the creative work.

I need to make sure that I correctly add vat to my service fees so that my net income remains consistent after all the government deductions are taken out.

It is quite a learning curve for a creative person like me to manage these financial spreadsheets every single Friday afternoon.

It's all about maintaining a professional image for my global clients. Have you had any issues when you add vat?

Thanks in advance.
