Invoicing — frequently asked questions

What must a UK VAT invoice include?
A full VAT invoice must show: your business name and address, your VAT registration number, the invoice number, invoice date, the customer's name and address, a description of each supply, the VAT rate, the net amount, the VAT amount, and the gross total.
Do I have to include a VAT number on my invoice?
Only if you are VAT-registered. If your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT threshold (£90,000 for 2024/25) you must register for VAT and include your VAT number on invoices. Below the threshold, VAT registration is optional.
What is domestic reverse charge on construction invoices?
The domestic reverse charge applies to most construction services between VAT-registered businesses. The supplier does not charge VAT; instead the customer accounts for it. The invoice must state 'Reverse charge: customer to account for VAT to HMRC'.
How long do I need to keep invoice records?
HMRC requires businesses to keep VAT records for at least 6 years. For Corporation Tax, records must be kept for 6 years from the end of the accounting period. Self-employed individuals should keep records for at least 5 years after the Self Assessment deadline.
Can I send invoices by email?
Yes. HMRC accepts electronic invoices. A PDF sent by email is acceptable. You do not need a wet signature or a paper original.
