What to put on a simple invoice
- Your name or business name, and your address.
- Your client's name and address.
- A unique invoice number. Keep them in order so they are easy to track.
- The invoice date, and the date you supplied the goods or services if it is different.
- A description of what you supplied, with quantities and prices.
- The total amount due and the date it should be paid by.
- How to pay you, such as your bank details.
- If you are VAT registered: your VAT number, the tax point, the VAT rate and the VAT amount.
- The basics: who you are, who it is for, what you did, how much and when to pay.
- A short note if you want to say thanks. It is optional.

Questions
What is the simplest invoice I can send?
A name, a date, an invoice number, a short description and the amount to pay. This template covers those and lets you add more only if you want to.
Can I leave fields blank?

Do I need to add tax?
No. Tax is off by default.
Can I reuse it next month?
Yes. Your business details are remembered on this device. Press Start a new invoice to clear the client and items.
