Build a quotation with your details, the customer, the lines and an expiry date. It prints as a clean document that states clearly it is not a tax invoice.
Quotation
Quoted to
Line 1 amount: Rs 10,000
Line 2 amount: Rs 0
Amount in words: Eleven Thousand Three Hundred rupees only
This is a quotation, not a tax invoice. It does not transfer goods, claim payment or create a VAT liability. A tax invoice follows the supply.
Filling it in: give every quotation an expiry date, because a quotation with no expiry is a price you have to honour indefinitely. Say plainly whether your prices include VAT: untick "Include VAT at 13%" to quote prices before VAT, and tell the customer. Terms take one line, for example advance payment or delivery within seven days.
Rate source: VAT Act 2052 as amended; standard rate as published by the Inland Revenue Department. Checked 2026-09-12. A quotation is not a tax invoice and cannot be used to claim VAT: issue a tax invoice when the supply happens. Say plainly whether your quoted prices include VAT, because that is where most disputes start. Confirm your position with the IRD or your accountant.

A quotation is a written offer: these goods or this work, at this price, until this date. It is the cheapest document a business makes, and it is often written quickly by hand on a notepad. That is why it causes so much trouble later. With a clear quote in hand, the customer cannot argue about what was agreed, and you cannot be held to a price you quoted nine months ago.
A quotation is not a tax invoice. It transfers nothing, asks for no payment and creates no VAT to pay. The printed document says this at the bottom, so nobody can file it as a bill.
Show it or leave it off, but say which. On a large quote, 13% VAT is a real amount of money. A customer who compares your price before VAT with a rival’s price including VAT is comparing two different things. The document states which basis you used, and the total is also written in words.
The page keeps no record.
Close the tab and the quotation is gone, so it cannot tell you which quotes are still open, which were accepted, or what your margin on them was.
It does not reserve stock, and it does not check whether you can actually supply at the price you quoted.
Work your margin out first with the margin calculator, then quote.
In Kuver Books, the quote is a saved record, not a printout. It becomes a sales order and then a tax invoice without anyone retyping the lines. The price the customer accepted is the price that reaches the bill, and the 32 built-in reports show what you quoted against what you sold.
VAT on every line, TDS on purchase bills, Bikram Sambat dates on every report.
