VAT Invoice Generator FAQ
Everything UK and EU businesses need to know about VAT invoices — HMRC requirements, rates, and compliance.
An HMRC-compliant VAT invoice must include: a unique invoice number, the invoice date, the supplier's business name and address, the supplier's VAT registration number, the customer's name and address, a description of goods or services, the net amount (excluding VAT), the VAT rate applied, the VAT amount shown separately, and the total including VAT. For invoices under £250, a simplified VAT receipt can be used.
The standard UK VAT rate is 20%. The reduced rate is 5% (applies to domestic energy, children's car seats, and some renovation work). The zero rate is 0% (applies to most food, children's clothing, books, and exports outside the UK). As of 2024, the VAT registration threshold is £90,000 annual turnover.

Yes. Add your UK VAT number (format: GB XXX XXXX XX) in the business details field — it will appear on the final PDF as required by HMRC.
Yes. You can enter any VAT rate, add custom EU VAT ID numbers (e.g., DE, FR, NL prefix), and add reverse charge notes for EU B2B transactions. InvoicesNest works for UK, EU, and international VAT invoicing.
A VAT invoice is issued by VAT-registered businesses and includes the VAT registration number, the VAT rate, and the VAT amount shown separately from the net. A regular invoice (non-VAT) does not include VAT at all. Only VAT-registered businesses (UK turnover over £90,000) are required to issue VAT invoices.
Yes. For B2B services supplied to VAT-registered EU clients, UK businesses do not charge VAT (reverse charge mechanism applies). Add a note to your invoice stating "Reverse charge — customer to account for VAT" and leave the VAT rate at 0%. InvoicesNest supports this in the notes field.
