What to put on an invoice
- The word “Invoice” and a unique invoice number.
- Your business name, address and contact details.
- Your customer’s name and address.
- The invoice date and the date payment is due.
- A clear description of each item or service, with quantities and prices.
- The total, any tax, and how to pay you.
In the UK, a VAT invoice must also show your VAT registration number, the VAT rate and the VAT amount. Limited companies should include their registered company name and number.
Worked example

|---|---|
| Website design | £1,200.00 |

Tips to get paid faster
- Send the invoice as soon as the work is done.
- Set clear payment terms, such as 14 or 30 days.
- Include your bank details so customers can pay straight away.
- Use “Next invoice number” so every invoice has a unique, sequential number.
