FAQs

Is there a legal invoice format in the UK?

There is no prescribed format, but HMRC specifies what information must be included. As long as your invoice contains the required details, the format is up to you.

Do sole traders need to send invoices?

Yes. As a sole trader, you should send an invoice for every job. This creates a paper trail for your accounts and makes it easier to chase payments.
