Invoices don’t have to be produced on a computer but there are stipulations you need to follow about what information needs to be displayed.

You must clearly display the word ‘invoice’ on the document. You must include:

  • your business name, address and contact information
  • a clear description of what you’re charging for
  • the date of the invoice
  • (if applicable) the date the goods or service were provided if different to the date of the invoice
  • the total amount owed

It’s good practice to give each invoice a unique number or reference and to include the name and address of the customer you’re invoicing, particularly if they’re also a business.

If you’re VAT-registered or trading as a limited company, slightly more information is required.

If you’d like any assistance in raising sales invoices or maintaining your records, your local TaxAssist Accountant would be happy to help.
