What to include on a UK invoice

  • A unique, sequential invoice number
  • Your business name (and trading name if different) and address
  • The client's name and address
  • The invoice date and the date of supply (tax point)
  • A clear description of the goods or services supplied
  • The amount being charged (and VAT, if registered)
  • Your VAT number if you are VAT-registered
  • Payment terms and how to pay

VAT vs non-VAT invoices

If you're not VAT-registered, don't charge VAT or show a VAT number. Your invoice subtotal is the total due.

If you're VAT-registered, every invoice must show your VAT number, the VAT rate applied to each line, the VAT amount per line, and the total VAT charged.

Sole trader vs limited company

Sole traders invoice in their own name (and trading name if different). No company number is required.

Limited companies must use the full registered company name and include the company number.

How invoice numbers work

Invoice numbers must be unique and sequential. A simple format like INV-2026-0001 works well — this generator suggests the next number automatically.
