Maksekirju

Maksekirju is a term originating from Estonian and translates directly to "payment letter" or "invoice". It refers to a document that details a transaction between a buyer and a seller, outlining the goods or services provided and the amount owed. Typically, a maksekiri includes information such as the invoice number, date of issue, seller's and buyer's contact details, a description of the items or services, the quantity, unit price, and the total sum due. It also specifies the payment terms, including the due date and acceptable payment methods.

In Estonia, a maksekiri serves as a formal record of a debt and a request for payment. It is a crucial document in business transactions, ensuring clarity and accountability for both parties. Failure to pay an outstanding maksekiri can lead to further actions, such as late payment reminders or legal proceedings. The concept is similar to an invoice or bill in other countries, fulfilling the essential function of communicating financial obligations arising from a sale or service agreement. It is a standard element in accounting and financial management for businesses operating within Estonia.
