On every invoice
- "Tax Invoice" (if you are VAT registered) or "Invoice"
- Your business name, address and VAT number if registered
- The customer's name and address (and VAT number for a full tax invoice)
- A unique, sequential invoice number and the date
- What you supplied, with quantities and prices
- The VAT and the total
Full or abridged
A full tax invoice, the kind larger sales need, must also carry the customer's VAT number when they are a vendor. The tax invoice requirements guide has the whole list.
