Invoice templates by trade

A worked example invoice for each of 150 UK trades, with the terms, deposits and VAT rules that apply to it.

Every UK invoice needs a unique number, your name and address, the client’s details, the date, a description of the work and the amount due, plus VAT details if you are registered. What changes by trade is the rest: deposits, payment terms, CIS deductions, exemptions and how the work is itemised. Pick your trade below for an example built around those rules.

Each page shows a complete example invoice with realistic 2026 prices, a table of typical rates and terms, and answers to the VAT questions that come up in that trade. You can open any example in the invoice generator to edit and download it as a PDF, or take the blank Word and Excel templates if you prefer to fill one in by hand.
