Quick answer — how to make an invoice

To make an invoice, add your business name and address, the customer's details, a unique invoice number, the date, a line-by-line list of what you're charging for (description, quantity, price), and the total due — plus VAT if you're VAT-registered. The tool above does all of this in your browser and downloads a clean PDF in seconds. It's free, with no account and no watermark.

How to create an invoice in 4 steps

  1. Add your details and the client's. Your business name, address and contact go in “From”; the customer goes in “Bill to”. Upload a logo if you have one.
  2. Give it a unique number and dates. Number invoices in a sequence you never repeat (INV-001, INV-002…), and set the invoice date and a due date.
  3. List what you're charging for. One line per item or service — description, quantity and rate. The amount and subtotal calculate themselves.
  4. Add VAT, then download. Set your VAT rate (20% standard in the UK) if you're registered, add any discount or shipping, and click Download PDF.

What to put on a UK invoice

For a standard (non-VAT) invoice, include:

  • The word “invoice”, clearly
  • A unique, sequential invoice number
  • Your business name, address and contact details
  • The customer's name and address
  • A description of what you're charging for, the date supplied, and the amount(s)
  • The total owed, and the date

Sole traders should also show their own name and any business (“trading as”) name; limited companies should show the full registered company name. HMRC sets out the basics on GOV.UK — invoices and what they must include.

VAT invoices

If you're VAT-registered, a VAT invoice has to show extra information — including your VAT registration number, the tax point (time of supply), the VAT rate and amount for each item, and the total VAT. The exact required fields depend on whether you issue a full, simplified or modified VAT invoice. Rather than restate rules that change, check the authoritative list in VAT Notice 700, section 16 (GOV.UK) and confirm your own position.

Set the tax row above to VAT at 20% (the UK standard rate) — or rename it and change the rate for reduced-rate or zero-rated supplies. Not registered for VAT? Set the rate to 0 and the row drops to zero.

Invoicing for eBay and online sellers

Buyers increasingly ask for a VAT invoice — business buyers need them to reclaim VAT, and it's simply good practice. Doing this by hand for every order doesn't scale. DashVue's eBay invoice generator creates a compliant invoice automatically for every sale, with sequential numbering and your VAT details already filled in, and lets you export them in bulk. Work out the fees behind each sale with the free eBay fee calculator, and keep your products tidy with the SKU generator.

Common questions

Is this invoice generator really free?

Yes — free, no account, and no watermark on the PDF. Everything runs in your browser; the invoice details are never uploaded anywhere.

Do I need to be VAT-registered to send an invoice?

No. Anyone can invoice. You only add VAT if you're VAT-registered — otherwise leave the VAT rate at 0 and don't show a VAT number.

What's the difference between an invoice and a receipt?

An invoice requests payment for goods or services; a receipt confirms payment has been made. You typically issue an invoice first, then a receipt once it's paid.

How should I number my invoices?

Use a unique, unbroken sequence — for example INV-001, INV-002. Don't skip or reuse numbers; HMRC expects invoice numbers to be sequential so they can be traced.

Can I save and edit the invoice later?

This tool keeps the invoice in your browser while the page is open and downloads a PDF. For saved, reusable templates and a full invoice history, that's what a tool like DashVue is for.
