Invoicing in England: what your invoice needs
This page covers the England specifics. The full VAT invoice guide for the whole United Kingdom is on the UK VAT invoice page.
VAT is a UK-wide tax run by HMRC, so the VAT rules, rates and invoice requirements are the same in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The full guide is on the UK VAT invoice page.
What is specific to England is mostly company details. A limited company registered in England and Wales normally shows its full registered name, its company number and its registered office on business documents, and it is good practice to put them on invoices as well.
Key facts for England
- VAT
- 20% standard, 5% reduced, 0% zero-rated; registration above £90,000 turnover

Practical tips
Use one set of rules across the UK
You do not need a separate invoice format for England. If you work with clients in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, the same VAT invoice applies.
