Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Use a Russia estimate to show the proposed seller, buyer, scope, quantities, unit prices, taxes, currency, timing, and payment expectations before the sale becomes final. The document should read like a commercial offer, not a loose email. Include the buyer's legal name and address, the seller's details, a clear estimate number, the issue date, and a validity period so both sides know which version controls the discussion.
Russian VAT paperwork has a separate statutory role. The счет-фактура is the VAT invoice used as the buyer's basis for deducting VAT charged by the seller on goods, work, services, or property rights. An estimate does not replace that document. It should prepare the same commercial facts cleanly, so the final invoice can carry the required identifiers, line values, VAT rate, VAT amount, and totals without rework.
Start with parties, then move to line items. Each line should name the product, service, work, or right being priced, show the unit of measure where possible, quantity, unit price, net value, VAT treatment, VAT amount if known, and gross value. For services, write a scope line that a buyer can approve without guessing which work is included.
Use rubles by default unless the transaction obligation is expressed in foreign currency. Russian monetary obligations are generally expressed in rubles, and VAT invoices may state foreign currency amounts when the obligation is in foreign currency. Payment timing belongs in the estimate because the default rule is contractual. If no due date or method exists, performance is due within seven days after the creditor's demand unless another rule or trade custom applies.
The estimate should make VAT status visible without pretending to be the final VAT invoice. Russia's current general VAT rates are 22% standard, 10% reduced, and 0% for exports and certain international transport. Use the rate that matches the supply category, and avoid labeling every untaxed line as 0%. Absence of VAT charging and a statutory zero rate are different positions.
A seller that qualifies for the VAT taxpayer obligation exemption has a separate status. Organizations and individual entrepreneurs whose revenue from sales did not exceed RUB 2 million over the previous three consecutive calendar months may notify the tax authority and receive a one-year exemption from VAT taxpayer obligations. If that status affects the estimate, state it plainly and keep supporting records outside the customer-facing document.
A one-off template works when you need a single proposal, a small scope, or a clean PDF for a buyer to approve. It is enough when prices are fixed, VAT treatment is already known, and the same person prepares the final invoice. Keep the estimate number, approved version, and buyer confirmation together so the invoice follows the accepted terms.
A managed workflow becomes useful when estimates come from tracked billable time, mixed billable and non-billable tasks, custom task rates, or member-rate exceptions. Everhour supports project billing status, task-level non-billable controls, custom task rates, and admin reports for billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost, so approved work can move into billing without rebuilding the numbers.

A Russia estimate is a pre-sale commercial document. The счет-фактура is the VAT invoice that supports the buyer's VAT deduction for VAT charged by the seller. Use the estimate to agree scope, price, currency, and payment terms, then issue the required VAT invoice when the transaction reaches the relevant invoicing event.
Include seller and buyer legal details, addresses, tax identifiers where available, estimate number, issue date, scope, quantities, unit prices, currency, VAT treatment, totals, validity period, and payment terms. The final VAT invoice has stricter fields, including taxpayer identification numbers, VAT rate, VAT amount, and total value including VAT.
A Russia estimate should use rubles unless the transaction obligation is expressed in foreign currency. Russian monetary obligations are expressed in rubles by default, but a VAT invoice may show foreign currency amounts when the obligation itself is in foreign currency. Match the estimate to the contract currency to avoid later invoice changes.
Use the VAT treatment that matches the planned supply. Russia's current general VAT rates are 22% standard, 10% reduced, and 0% for exports and certain international transport. If the seller uses a VAT exemption, describe that status instead of turning it into a 0% VAT line.
Missing buyer identifiers and vague line items create the most rework. A final Russian VAT invoice must show seller and buyer names, addresses, taxpayer identification numbers, item descriptions, quantities, net values, VAT rate, VAT amount, and gross values. A thin estimate forces those details to be collected again after approval.
Everhour lets admins set project billing status, mark specific tasks as non-billable, use custom task rates, and set member-rate exceptions. Reports can show billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost, so only chargeable work moves toward the client bill.
Track billable work before the estimate becomes an invoice. Everhour separates billable and non-billable time, applies task or member rates, and gives admins billing reports for cleaner client charges.
