What a UK invoice needs

The word “invoice”, a unique number, your name and address, the client's details, a description of the work, the date and the amount due. If you're VAT registered it also needs your VAT number and the VAT shown separately — the builder adds those fields when you tick VAT.

Set a due date, always

“Payment on receipt” is vague and easy to ignore. A dated deadline (14 days is standard for trades) gives you a clear point to start chasing — and if the client's a business, it's the date statutory interest starts running under the Late Payment Act.
