Country-aware checks

  • Tax terminology: VAT
  • Business ID label: VAT Registration Number / Company Registration Number (CRN)
  • An ordinary UK invoice includes a unique number; supplier and customer names and addresses; a clear description; supply and invoice dates; amounts charged; VAT when applicable; and the total. Sole traders and limited companies have additional identity rules described by GOV.UK.
  • Only VAT-registered businesses issue VAT invoices. Full VAT invoices add the sequential invoice number, tax point, issue date, supplier name/address/VAT number, customer name/address, sufficient supply description and quantity or extent, and net, VAT and gross values. Applicability, simplified invoices and special schemes must be checked separately.
  • Include the supplier VAT registration number when a VAT-registered business issues a VAT invoice. Registration and VAT-invoice applicability must be established separately; this guidance does not make the field mandatory for every UK invoice.
  • VAT-registered businesses generally keep VAT business records and invoice copies for at least six years; OSS/MOSS and special-scheme rules can require longer or different treatment.
  • Electronic VAT invoices contain the same information as paper invoices. Issuers remain responsible for authenticity, integrity, legibility, reproducibility and storage; a Formnivo PDF is not proof that those controls or Making Tax Digital records have been satisfied.
