What must a UK VAT invoice include?
HMRC requires a sequential invoice number, your name, address and VAT registration number, the customer name and address, the tax point, a description of the supply, the net amount and VAT rate per item, and the totals excluding and including VAT. A document missing these is not a valid VAT invoice for the customer input-tax claim.
What is a tax point and why does it matter?
The tax point is the date the supply is treated as taking place for VAT, which determines the return period the VAT falls into. It is usually the invoice date where the invoice is issued within the prescribed period of supply, but payment or delivery can set it earlier — and getting it wrong puts the VAT in the wrong return.
