What an invoice should include
A professional invoice should clearly show:
- Your business name, logo and contact details
- Client name and contact details
- Invoice number
- Invoice date and due date
- Item description, quantity and price
- VAT or tax (if applicable)
- Discounts (if any)
- Total amount
- Payment terms or payment method
When to use an invoice
Use an invoice to:
- Request payment for goods or services
- Track outstanding payments from clients
- Provide an official record for your accounts
Invoice vs quotation
A quotation is sent before work begins to propose a price. An invoice is sent after goods or services are delivered to request payment. You can create both with jmDoc — try the free quotation generator.

- Send invoices promptly after delivering work
- Show VAT separately if you are VAT registered
VAT and invoices
If your business is VAT registered, show VAT as a separate line on your invoice with your VAT or tax identification number. If you are not VAT registered, you normally should not charge VAT. Use the VAT calculator to work out the exact VAT amount before invoicing.
