Frequently asked questions

How do I create a UK invoice?
Fill in your business details on the left, add your client, list the work as line items with quantity and unit price, toggle VAT if you're registered, then click "Download PDF". A compliant UK invoice should include a unique invoice number, the invoice date, your business name and address, your client's name and address, a clear description of goods or services, the total amount due, and — if VAT registered — your VAT number and the VAT amount charged.
Do I need to charge VAT?
You only need to charge VAT if your business is VAT-registered with HMRC. Registration becomes mandatory once your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in a rolling 12-month period. Below that you can register voluntarily, but it's optional. The standard UK rate is 20%; reduced (5%) and zero rates apply to specific goods and services.
Is this invoice generator really free?
Yes — completely free with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on the number of invoices you can create. Everything runs in your browser, so your data never touches a server.
What payment terms should I use?
Net 30 (payment due within 30 days) is the UK default for B2B work. Freelancers often use Net 14 or Net 7 for faster cash flow. Under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act you can charge statutory interest of 8% plus the Bank of England base rate on overdue B2B invoices.
How long should I keep invoices?
HMRC requires sole traders to keep business records for at least 5 years after the 31 January submission deadline. Limited companies must keep records for 6 years from the end of the financial year. VAT records must be kept for 6 years.
