Typical invoice items in the electrical trade
Electrical invoices live on cleanly separated labour hours and material lists — from switch ranges to distribution boards. Name testing and measurement work (e.g. safety checks) as separate items: they document skilled work and justify the price. For private customers, the separately shown labour share pays off (§35a EStG).
