Create free VAT invoices for UK businesses

Sole traders, limited companies, and VAT-registered contractors across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland need invoices that stand up to HMRC scrutiny and help clients approve payment quickly.

This free invoice generator UK opens in GBP with standard 20% VAT ready to apply. Turn VAT off if you are below the registration threshold or operate outside the VAT scheme.

Whether you invoice London agencies, Manchester trades, or remote clients abroad, a clear PDF with your VAT number and line-item breakdown keeps your books tidy for Self Assessment or corporation tax.

HMRC invoice essentials

VAT-registered businesses must issue a VAT invoice that includes a unique number, time of supply (tax point), your name and address, VAT registration number, customer name and address, description of goods or services, and VAT amount shown separately.

If you are not VAT registered, do not charge VAT or display a VAT number — issue a standard invoice with your business details and the total due in pounds sterling.

Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) subcontractors may need to show gross amounts and CIS deductions on statements to contractors; use the notes field for deduction lines if your arrangement requires it.

United Kingdom invoice FAQ

Is this free invoice generator UK suitable for HMRC records?

Yes. You can produce PDF invoices with the fields HMRC expects on VAT invoices — number, date, business details, line items, and VAT shown separately. Store PDFs for your Making Tax Digital or Self Assessment records.

What is the UK VAT registration threshold?

You must register for VAT when your taxable turnover exceeds the threshold set by HMRC (currently £90,000 over a rolling 12-month period). Below that, you may trade without charging VAT unless you register voluntarily.

Can CIS subcontractors use this for construction invoices?

You can list labour and materials as line items and explain CIS deductions in the notes. Official CIS statements may need extra fields — check with your contractor or accountant for CIS-specific layouts.

Do sole traders and limited companies invoice differently?

The layout is the same, but a limited company should show the registered company name and registered office. Sole traders often trade under their own name or a business name without Ltd suffix.

What records should I keep for Making Tax Digital?

Keep digital copies of invoices issued and received, plus bank records. PDF invoices downloaded from this tool can form part of that archive alongside your accounting software exports.

Can I show reverse charge VAT on B2B services?

Add a note on the invoice stating that the customer must account for VAT under the reverse charge procedure, and show net amounts accordingly. Confirm applicability with your accountant for your specific service.

Is there a subscription or trial for this UK invoice maker?

No subscription. The invoice generator is free to use with unlimited PDF downloads — there is no trial that expires.
