UK invoice template

For sole traders, freelancers and limited companies — with or without VAT, in pounds, ready as a PDF.

What HMRC expects on an invoice

Every invoice needs a unique sequential number, your business name and address, the customer's name and address, a description of what you're charging for, the date of supply, the date of the invoice and the amount due.

If you're VAT registered, a full VAT invoice also shows your VAT registration number, the rate and amount of VAT for each item, and the total VAT in pounds. Limited companies should show their registered company name, number and registered office — add them in Company register details.

Get paid by bank transfer or by scan. Your sort code and account number are printed in the payment details (validated as you type), with your IBAN too if you have overseas clients. Add a PayPal.me, Monzo.me, Revolut or Stripe link and it is printed as a QR code — with the amount already filled in where the provider supports it.

Not registered for VAT? Switch VAT status off and no VAT is shown. For construction services under the domestic reverse charge, choose the reverse charge rate and the HMRC wording is added.

Private by design

There is no account and no server behind this invoice generator. Your business details, clients, products and invoices are stored in your browser's own database (IndexedDB) and never uploaded. The PDF is built on your device. The only request the app ever makes on its own is optional: if you click Use ECB rate on a foreign-currency invoice, it asks the European Central Bank for that day's reference rate — sending just the two currency codes and the date. That also means nobody else has a copy — download a backup from Settings → Backup now and then, and keep it with your accounting files. Nothing is locked in: every PDF carries its own data, the backup format is documented, and you can download an offline copy of the whole app.
