Frequently Asked Questions
What should a UK invoice include?
A valid UK invoice must include your business name and address, the client's name and address, a unique invoice number, the invoice date, a description of goods or services, the amounts charged, and VAT information if you're VAT registered. Our generator includes all these fields automatically.
Do I need to charge VAT on my invoices?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 (as of 2024/25). Once registered, you'll need to charge VAT at the standard rate of 20%, the reduced rate of 5%, or the zero rate of 0% depending on the goods or services. Our tool lets you set different VAT rates per line item.
What is a proforma invoice?
A proforma invoice is a preliminary document sent before goods or services are delivered. It's not a demand for payment but rather an estimate or commitment of what will be charged. It's commonly used in international trade and for advance payments.
