Frequently asked questions

  • Who is this simple invoice template for?

    Freelancers, sole traders and small businesses that are not VAT registered. It uses a clean, minimal layout with no VAT breakdown.
  • Can I use this template if I'm VAT registered?

    No. If you are VAT registered, HMRC requires a VAT number and a net / VAT / gross breakdown. Use the UK VAT Invoice Template instead.
  • Is this template legally valid in the UK?

    Yes. It includes every required field: business name, address, client details, a unique invoice number, dates, description and total. That meets HMRC's requirements for non-VAT registered businesses.
  • Can I download it as a PDF?

    Yes. Click 'Download PDF' to open your browser's print dialog. Choose 'Save as PDF' as the destination.
  • Do I need payment terms on a simple invoice?

    Not legally, but they're strongly recommended. 14 or 30 days is standard. Always include bank details so clients can pay you.
