What a UK sole trader invoice must include

General good-practice guidance, not legal advice — always check with your accountant.

  • Your business name and contact details
  • A unique invoice number
  • Invoice date (and payment due date)
  • Client name and address
  • A clear description of the work
  • Amount due in £ (with VAT shown separately if VAT-registered)
  • Payment terms and bank details

Frequently asked questions

Do I need software to invoice as a sole trader?

No. A simple template works perfectly fine — plenty of sole traders run their whole business on Word or Excel invoices. Software just makes it faster: no copying old files, no manual numbering, no re-typing client details every time.

Are these templates really free?

Yes. Genuinely free, no email required, no signup. Download them, edit them, use them for as long as you like.

Do sole traders need to charge VAT?

Only if you are VAT-registered. Most sole traders below the VAT threshold do not need to charge VAT — but rules change and thresholds move, so check with your accountant or HMRC for guidance specific to your situation.

What's the fastest way to send a quote on site?

From your phone. Apps like TradeEasy let you build a branded PDF quote in about 60 seconds and send it straight to the customer on WhatsApp — no laptop, no template copying, no email attachments to fiddle with.
