What a UK invoice must include

A unique invoice number (numbers should run in order)
Your name, or your business name, and your address
Your client's name and address
A clear description of the work you did
The date the work was done and the date of the invoice
The amount owed and when payment is due

VAT registered? You also need your VAT number and the VAT amount. If you're not registered, leave VAT at zero and don't charge it.

Limited company? Add the full company name, company registration number and registered office address.

Getting paid on time: state a clear due date and include your bank details and a payment reference, usually the invoice number. See GOV.UK's invoicing guide for the official rules.
