Why keep an income log?

It puts every payment in date order with the invoice it settles, which is what you need at tax time and to spot an invoice still unpaid. Ask a tax adviser what your own country requires you to keep.

Can I change the columns?

Yes — add one for the tax on each payment, say, or remove “Paid by”. Each line of the columns box is one column; add |2 to make it wider.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The PDF is drawn in your browser, so whatever you type stays on your computer.

Yes. The free plan adds a small line at the foot of the sheet; Pro leaves it off.
