What must a UK VAT invoice include?
HMRC requires: your business name, address, and VAT number; the customer's name and address; a unique invoice number; the invoice date; a description of goods/services; the net amount; VAT rate and amount; and the gross total.
What is the current UK VAT rate?
The standard VAT rate is 20%. A reduced rate of 5% applies to some goods (e.g., children's car seats, energy). Zero-rated items (0%) include most food and children's clothing.
Do I need to charge VAT if I'm below the threshold?
No. You only need to register for VAT once your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in a 12-month period. Below this, VAT registration is voluntary.
What's the difference between a VAT invoice and a simplified invoice?
A simplified VAT invoice can be used for supplies under £250. It requires fewer details — just your name, VAT number, date, description of goods/services, and the VAT-inclusive total.
