About the Invoice in GBP
A sterling invoice to a UK business is straightforward once three things are right. VAT is 20% at the standard rate, with 5% reduced and 0% zero rates for defined supplies — and you only charge it at all if you are registered, which is compulsory above the turnover threshold and optional below it.
Payment is by Faster Payments, which needs a six-digit sort code and an eight-digit account number and which arrives in seconds rather than days. An IBAN is only needed for a payment from abroad. Quoting the invoice number as the payment reference is what lets you match the money without chasing.
Terms are conventionally Net 30, and the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 gives you a statutory right to interest at 8% above the Bank of England base rate plus a fixed recovery cost whether or not your terms mention it — but quoting the clause on the invoice makes the claim far easier to press. A limited company must also show its registered name, registered office and company number.
