# What is the difference between a Proforma Invoice and a Tax Invoice?

A **Proforma Invoice **is an invoice generated for any of your services, hosting, or domains on your account. It is also considered a quotation invoice for your pending orders and must be settled to activate any services, hosting, or domains.

A **Tax Invoice **is issued once a proforma invoice has been settled. It is generated for the specific service, hosting, or domain related to the proforma invoice and includes your transaction ID as proof of payment.
