# Invoices and acts in tenge

Put the workspace's plan on paper the way companies in Kazakhstan pay for a service: an invoice before, an act of completed work after, in tenge and in your language. Preview, and not a tax document yet.

Companies in Kazakhstan often pay by bank transfer or Kaspi against an **invoice** (счёт на оплату) and then need an **act of completed work** (акт выполненных работ) for the books. Qaldy can make both from the workspace's plan.

:::preview Preview, and billing is mock
Billing is [mock](https://docs.qaldy.com/concepts/pricing/): no card is taken and nothing is charged. Until Qaldy's own legal entity is set up as the seller, **every document says "Preview, not a tax document"**, and it never says it is one. The tenge amounts are the rate card's, which an accountant has not checked yet.

## Make one

Admins and owners only. Open **Plan and usage**, then **Invoices & acts** (`/pricing/invoices`).

:::steps
1. **Add your company details** once: the legal name, the BIN or IIN, the address, and whether the company is registered for VAT. An email for documents and a contract reference are optional. The BIN or IIN is checked for twelve digits and a correct control digit, and **not looked up** in any state register.
2. **Issue invoice** for the current month or the next one, or **Issue act** for a month that has finished. A month that already has one cannot get a second.
3. **Print or save as PDF** in Russian, Kazakh or English. The document number becomes the file name.
4. When the money arrives, **Mark paid**, with the date it arrived and the bank transfer's reference or the Kaspi receipt number. If you marked it by mistake, **Mark unpaid**. "Paid" is the workspace's own record; nothing checks a bank.
5. A document issued in error can be **voided** with a reason. It keeps its number, and the next one moves on.

## What is on it

- A **number** like `INV-2026-000012` or `ACT-2026-000003`: the kind, the year it was issued in Almaty, and six digits that never reuse a number. Dates are Almaty dates.
- The **lines**: the plan, and any capacity you added, priced from the rate card in tenge, as integer tiyn so that no rounding drifts.
- A **VAT line**. In the Preview the list prices are treated as net and 16 percent is added, the base rate that secondary sources report for 2026 under the new Tax Code; an accountant has to confirm it. The VAT setting belongs to the seller, never to the company that pays.
- The company that pays, with its BIN or IIN.
- The **billing basis**: a document is billed at the plan and add-ons the month ended with. Changes made during the month are not prorated in this Preview.

## What it will not do

- **No Free plan invoice.** There is nothing to pay on Free.
- **No contract plan invoice.** Sovereign is sold by contract and has no price list to invoice from.
- **No act for the current month.** The work is not complete yet.
- **Nothing older than two years**, and nothing before the workspace existed.
- It is **not an ESF** (the tax committee's electronic invoice) and is not filed with the tax system. The act is a printable document in the style of the usual form. See [Kazakhstan](https://docs.qaldy.com/kazakhstan/) for why Qaldy does not issue ESF.

## Who can see them

Admins and owners can issue, mark and void. Everyone else is told to ask an admin or the owner; they can still see their plan and use on Plan and usage.
