What to Include on a UK Invoice
A UK invoice must include your business name and address, your VAT registration number (if VAT-registered), the client's name and address, a unique sequential invoice number, the invoice date and tax point, a description of goods or services, the net amount, VAT rate and amount, and the gross total. For VAT invoices over £250, you must also include the quantity and unit price of goods or services.
Tips for UK Invoicing
Keep your invoice numbering sequential — HMRC requires it. If you're VAT-registered, issue VAT invoices within 30 days of the supply date. Keep records of all invoices for at least 6 years. Use the flat rate VAT scheme if your turnover is below £150,000 — it simplifies your bookkeeping. Always check whether your client is VAT-registered, as reverse charge may apply for certain services.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to charge VAT on UK invoices?
You must charge VAT if your business is VAT-registered (mandatory when taxable turnover exceeds £85,000). The standard rate is 20%, with reduced rates of 5% for some goods and services, and 0% for others. If you're not VAT-registered, you cannot charge VAT.
What are the UK invoice legal requirements?
UK invoices must include: a unique identification number, your company name and address, the customer's name and address, a description of goods/services, the date of issue, the amount due, and VAT details if applicable. Limited companies must also show the company registration number.
What payment terms are standard in the UK?
Net 30 is the most common term, but the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act entitles businesses to charge interest (8% + Bank of England base rate) on overdue invoices. The payment terms should be agreed in advance and clearly stated on the invoice.
