Free invoice template for UK tradespeople

What should a UK trade invoice include?

Your business name and address, customer name and address, a unique invoice number, the date, an itemised list of work and materials, subtotal, VAT (if registered), grand total, payment terms (typically 30 days), and your bank details for BACS payment.

What about VAT invoices?

If you are VAT-registered, your invoice must show your VAT number, the VAT rate applied to each line, the VAT amount, and the total including VAT. GraftG handles this automatically from the VAT number in your Settings.

What about CIS invoices?

If you work under the Construction Industry Scheme, the invoice should show the CIS deduction on the labour element and the net amount payable. GraftG (Pro plan, £24/month) calculates this at 20% or 30% depending on your registration status.

Can I skip the template entirely?

Instead of filling in a template every time, just text your job details on WhatsApp. GraftG creates a branded PDF invoice with all the right fields — VAT, CIS, payment terms, bank details — and sends it back in seconds. From £14 per month, first month free.
