What a UK invoice must include
GOV.UK lists what an invoice must show. This generator has a field for each one:
- A unique invoice number. The tool counts up for you each time you download.
- Your business name, address and contact details. Sole traders show their own name and any trading name.
- The customer's name and address.
- A clear description of what you're charging for.
- The date the work was done (the supply date) and the date of the invoice.
- The amounts charged, any VAT, and the total owed.
If you and your customer are both VAT-registered, you need to issue a VAT invoice, which shows your VAT number and the VAT separately. Tick the VAT box and add your number to do that.
Payment terms
If you haven't agreed a payment date with a business customer, the law treats payment as late 30 days after they get the invoice or after the work is done, whichever is later. Most tradespeople set a shorter term, such as 7 or 14 days, and put it on every invoice. Choose yours in "Payment terms" and the due date fills in.
Tips for getting paid faster
Send the invoice on the day you finish the job. Include your bank details and ask for the invoice number as the payment reference. And keep the description specific: "Replaced kitchen tap and isolation valve" gets paid quicker than "Plumbing work".
