Frequently asked questions
When do I need to use a VAT invoice?
If your business is VAT registered, every invoice you issue for taxable goods or services must be a VAT invoice. It must include your VAT registration number, the VAT rate, and a separate net / VAT / gross breakdown.What's the difference between a VAT invoice and a regular invoice?
A VAT invoice shows the VAT rate applied, the VAT amount, and the gross total separately. A non-VAT invoice (used by businesses below the VAT threshold) shows a single total without any VAT breakdown.Do I need to show VAT on every line?
You can either show the VAT rate and amount per line, or apply a single rate to the whole invoice and show the total VAT once at the bottom. Both are accepted, as long as the VAT amount is clearly visible.Can I download this VAT invoice template as a PDF?
Yes. Click 'Download PDF' to open your browser's print dialog and save the invoice as a PDF.What VAT rate should I use?
Most goods and services use the standard 20% rate. Some items qualify for the reduced 5% rate or 0% rate. Check GOV.UK if you're unsure which rate applies to your business.
