Good habits

Three things worth getting right.

01

Show VAT as its own line

The standard rate is 15 percent. Keep it separate so clients can see the pre-tax amount.

02

Include your VAT number

Business clients need it to claim input VAT. Put it near the top of the invoice.

03

Add bank details

Use a clear reference so you can match each payment to the right invoice.
