When you must register
You must register for VAT when your taxable turnover goes over £90,000 in any rolling 12 months, or you expect it to in the next 30 days. Below that you can register voluntarily, or send invoices without VAT.
Good to know
- Not VAT-registered? Your invoice must not show VAT or a VAT number. Switch tax to "No tax" in the generator.
- For sales of £250 or less (including VAT) you can issue a simplified VAT invoice with fewer details.
- Keep VAT records and invoices for at least 6 years. VAT returns go through Making Tax Digital software.
How to make your invoice
- Open the UK generator. It is already set to GBP and VAT.
- Add your details. Business name, address, VAT number and logo.
- Add your items. Pick the VAT rate per line, or tick that your price already includes it.
- Download or send. Get the PDF, or create a free account to email it, track payment and send reminders.
