Towing invoice generator for Canadian tow operators and recovery jobs
Create a Canadian towing or vehicle recovery invoice for roadside assistance, accident towing, winching, storage, release fees, insurer billing, fleet jobs and workshop transfers. Add vehicle details, pickup location, destination, authorization, GST/HST and itemized service lines.
Canadian towing paperwork can be province, city and tow-type specific, especially for accident towing, impounds, storage and non-consensual tows. Use this generator for a clear billing document, then add the licence, authorization, regulated-fee or storage notice details your jurisdiction requires.
What a Canadian towing invoice should include
A towing invoice needs enough detail to match the charge to one vehicle, one tow and one storage or release event. This matters for insurers, fleet accounts, repairers, police-authorized tows and private customers.
- Tow operator name, business number, GST/HST account where applicable, address, phone and payment details.
- Customer, insurer, fleet account, workshop, police, roadside-assistance or property-manager reference.
- Vehicle year, make, model, colour, VIN if available, licence plate and province.
- Pickup or incident location, destination, storage facility and tow date/time.
- Call-out, hook-up, kilometres, winching, recovery labour, after-hours surcharge, storage days, admin and release fees separately.
- Authority to tow, job number, claim number, policy number, police report, repair order or fleet reference in the notes.
GST/HST and freight-style towing notes
CRA guidance says a supply made in Canada is generally subject to GST/HST unless it is zero-rated or exempt. Freight transportation services involving the movement of tangible personal property are generally taxable domestically, while international and qualifying interlined freight can be zero-rated.
Many towing jobs are local taxable services rather than international freight. Keep vehicle movement, storage, release and admin fees itemized so the tax and regulated-fee treatment can be reviewed.
Storage, release and itemized charges
If the vehicle is stored after recovery, show each storage day or date range separately and state release or collection terms in the notes. Storage, admin and release fees should not be hidden inside the tow charge.
Itemize call-out, hook-up, kilometres, winching, recovery labour, after-hours work, tolls and storage so customers, insurers and repairers can approve each component.
Insurance and fleet billing
For insurance, fleet or workshop billing, include the claim number, policy reference, fleet unit, purchase order or repair order. The invoice should show why the vehicle was moved, where it went and which charges were authorized.
