Accounting and invoicing for wedding photographers
Booking a year ahead, deposit, coverage on the day, image selection, album and prints: wedding photographers have jobs with a long lead time and several payments. Saldiqo issues the deposit on booking, the balance after the wedding and invoices for albums and extras and records equipment and travel.

The date is booked a year in advance. The deposit secures it.

- The threshold is €15,600 of taxable turnover over 12 months, or expected within the next 30 days. If you sell services to businesses in other EU countries, you generally register from the first sale. Until you are registered, Saldiqo leaves VAT off and adds up your turnover.
