Add a payment link to your invoice<\/h3>\n<p>By adding a payment link to your invoice, your client is able to pay you using iDeal, Paypal or creditcard with the click of a button. Nowadays almost every invoicing system has an option to add a payment link. For instance our system has a connection with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/database\/en\/laat-je-factuur-betalen-via-ideal\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mollie<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h3>\n2. Payment term<\/h3>\n<p>Always state a payment term on your invoice. This way you let your client know what payment term you expect and you have something to fall back on when your client doesn\u2019t pay. <\/p>\n<p>There are some rules for payment terms:<\/p>\n<li>If you invoice a private person you can determine the payment term yourself. This has to be a reasonable term. Write down the payment term in a contract, in your general terms and conditions or state it on your invoice.\n<\/li>\n<li>When you invoice a company, by law the invoice has to be paid within 60 days. Usually, the term in which an invoice gets paid is 30 days. This is almost always the case except when both parties have agreed on a different term.\n<\/li>\n<li>Has the payment term of your invoice expired? Make sure to send your client a reminder. It&#8217;s likely that the system you used to send the invoice gives you an automatic heads-up when the payment term has expired, but it wouldn&#8217;t hurt to keep an eye on it yourself as well.\n<\/li>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"image-block block\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"image-block__image-container col-12 offset-xl-1 col-xl-10\">\n                <div class=\"image-block__image-wrapper\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\n                         class=\"image d-block w-100\"\n                         alt=\"Getting your invoices paid faster\"\n                         src=\"https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/freddie-collins-uXWPg9uMwt8-unsplash-scaled.jpg\"\n                         srcset=\"https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/freddie-collins-uXWPg9uMwt8-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/freddie-collins-uXWPg9uMwt8-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/freddie-collins-uXWPg9uMwt8-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/freddie-collins-uXWPg9uMwt8-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/freddie-collins-uXWPg9uMwt8-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/freddie-collins-uXWPg9uMwt8-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\"\n                         sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\n                    <div class=\"rotated-label\">\n                        <label><\/label>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"text-block block columns-1\">\n    <div id=\"\" class=\"deeplink-anchor\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col-12 offset-lg-1 col-lg-10 offset-xl-2 col-xl-8\">\n                <div class=\"text-block__text-wrapper rich-text d-block\">\n                    <h3>3. Personal relationship with your client<br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>It might be obvious but a good relationship with your client can prevent payment issues. A personal relationship is crucial. Think about it: you would also pay the invoice first of the people you know the best. A personal relationship doesn\u2019t have to mean that you take a holiday together. Simply picking up the phone instead of emailing could already increase the personal relationship with your customer. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the consequences when your invoice isn\u2019t paid on time?<\/strong><br \/>\nFor your VAT return the invoice date is leading. So invoices that aren\u2019t paid on time will still be added to your VAT declaration. When VAT is charged on the invoice this will be processed in your VAT declaration and you need to pay the VAT on time. <\/p>\n<p>When a client is long overdue paying you, you have the right to charge interest over the period that has passed since the payment term has expired. You can also demand to be compensated for any legal costs or collection charges. However, it would be nicer if this could be prevented by the tips in this article. <\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every entrepreneur likes his invoices to be paid on time.
