Questions

What does the invoice show for VAT?
The title VAT Invoice, your VAT registration number, the VAT rate on each line, a VAT row for each rate (for example VAT at 20%), the total excluding VAT and the total. Check it against HMRC's invoice guidance before you send it.
Can one invoice mix VAT rates?
Yes. Each line has its own VAT rate, and the totals show a separate VAT row for each rate, so 20% and 5% items can sit on the same invoice.
When should I use the reverse charge option?
Only when the customer, not you, must account for the VAT under a reverse charge rule. The invoice then shows VAT (reverse charge) at £0.00 and the note "Reverse charge: customer to account for VAT to HMRC."
Is delivery taxed?
Not when it is entered in the delivery field, which is added after VAT. If delivery is part of a standard-rated supply, add it as a line item with its VAT rate instead.
Can I invoice in euros or dollars?
Yes. Choose the currency and the amounts are shown in it. The VAT figures still follow the rates on each line.
Do I need to be VAT-registered to use it?
Only VAT-registered businesses can charge VAT. If you are not registered, set the tax to No tax so the invoice charges none. Registration is required once taxable turnover passes £90,000 in a rolling 12 months.
Is my invoice data uploaded or saved?
No. The invoice is made entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded. Invoice details are not kept as a draft, and shareable links leave out customer details, line items, logo and signature.
