What a UK invoice must include

To be a valid invoice, and to actually get paid, it should clearly show a few things:

  • The word Invoice, and a unique invoice number
  • Your name or business name, address and contact details
  • The client's name and address
  • The date, and the date payment is due
  • A clear description of what you're charging for, with amounts
  • The total due, plus VAT if you're registered
  • How to pay you (bank details or a payment link)

Number your invoices in a simple sequence so you never repeat one. Set a clear due date, usually 14 or 30 days, and state it plainly. If you'd rather fill this in on screen and download a PDF, use our free invoice generator. New to invoicing? Read how to write an invoice, and if a payment goes past due, our late payment interest calculator shows what you can charge.
