How to get a Linode invoice

Download an invoice PDF

1. Log in to Cloud Manager.
2. In the sidebar, open Administration, then Billing.
3. Scroll to Billing & Payment History.
4. Click Download PDF beside the invoice.

The table shows the last six months by default. Use the Transaction Types and Transactions Dates lists to reach older invoices or to show only payments.

Reading the invoice lines

Click an invoice number to see each service with its billing start and end dates, quantity in hours, region, hourly unit price, amount before tax, tax and total. That level of detail lets you split one invoice between clients or projects when each runs its own instances.

Adding a VAT or GST tax ID

1. On the Billing page, click Edit in the Billing Contact pane.
2. Enter the ID in Tax Identification Number.
3. If your country requires verification, tick the acknowledgement.
4. Click Save.

Once verified, eligible customers outside the US and Canada no longer see tax added to invoices, but still owe any tax due to their own government. If verification fails, invoices are issued without the ID until you correct it.

Customers in the US and Canada

This self-serve route does not apply in the United States or Canada. Customers there submit their tax ID and a state exemption or reseller certificate through a support ticket. Your tax location comes from the contact details on the account, which are updated in the contact panel on the Billing page.

Linode invoices without the six-month window

Billing & Payment History only shows six months unless someone changes the dates. Connect a login with billing access and our AI agent saves each new Linode invoice PDF as it is issued with bill fetching, which keeps the full year ready for tax time. Hourly lines feed subscription tracking, and an instance paid on a personal card can be claimed in expense reports.
