Invoice checklist

A quick checklist for the information you normally want on a business invoice.

Your business name / trading name Your contact details A unique invoice number Invoice date Customer name and address Clear description of goods or services Amounts, prices and totals Payment terms and due date How the customer should pay VAT details where required

What an invoice must contain can depend on your legal form and VAT status. Use this as a practical prompt, not a substitute for checking the current rules.
