VAT is worked out on each line and rounded to the nearest penny, and the invoice VAT is the sum of the line VAT (VAT Notice 700, section 17.5).
What a UK VAT invoice must show
VAT Notice 700, section 16.3.1: you must show these details on any VAT invoice you issue.
- A sequential number, based on one or more series, which uniquely identifies the document
- The time of the supply (tax point)
- The date of issue of the document (where different to the time of supply)
- Your name, address and VAT registration number (the name and address you are registered under for VAT must appear)
- The name and address of the person to whom the goods or services are supplied
- A description sufficient to identify the goods or services supplied
- For each description, the quantity of the goods or the extent of the services, the rate of VAT and the amount payable excluding VAT
- The gross total amount payable, excluding VAT
- The rate of any cash discount offered
- The total amount of VAT chargeable, expressed in sterling
- The unit price
Zero-rated and exempt items on a VAT invoice must clearly show that no VAT is payable, with a separate total for their value. This template does that for items you set to 0%. For orders of £250 or less, with the customer's agreement, Notice 700 also allows a simplified VAT invoice; this template produces the full invoice, which is always acceptable.
Not VAT registered? Use the invoice template. Thinking of the flat rate scheme? Try the VAT Flat Rate Scheme calculator.
