How to write a service not rendered credit note
A service-not-rendered credit note credits a customer for work that was billed but not actually delivered — a cancelled session, an unfulfilled part of a project, or a service the client did not receive. It reduces the invoice to what was genuinely provided.
This template opens with itemised lines. Reference the invoice, credit the undelivered service, note the reason, and download a PDF credit note.
What to include
- “Credit Note” label with its own number and date

Frequently asked questions
I invoiced for a service I did not fully deliver — what do I do?
Issue a credit note referencing the invoice for the part not delivered, with the tax reversed. The client’s balance reduces to what they actually received.
Does this apply to a cancelled booking?
Yes — if you invoiced for a session or booking that did not go ahead, a credit note is the clean way to reverse that charge against the original invoice.

What is a credit note and when do I issue one?
A credit note (or credit memo) is a document that cancels or reduces an amount on an invoice you already sent — for a return, cancellation, overcharge or post-invoice discount. It references the original invoice and is either applied against the buyer’s account or refunded.
