What to put on an invoice in the UK
A clear invoice gets paid faster. Include: your business name and contact details, your customer's name, an invoice number, the invoice date and due date, a line for each product or service with quantity and price, the total, and exactly how to pay you.
If you're registered for VAT, add your VAT registration number and show the VAT separately.
VAT on invoices in the UK
The standard VAT rate in the UK is 20%. You must register for VAT once your VAT-taxable turnover goes over the registration threshold (£90,000 a year at the time of writing); below it, most sole traders don't charge VAT. If you're VAT-registered, a VAT invoice must show your VAT registration number and the VAT amount. Check HMRC's current guidance for your situation.
Getting paid on time
In the UK, businesses can claim interest and compensation on late payment from other businesses, so a clear due date on every invoice is worth having.
Number your invoices in order (INV-0001, INV-0002) so you and your customers can always refer to the right one, and keep a copy of every invoice you send.
