What a electrician invoice should include
The word “Invoice”, a number, and dates
A unique sequential invoice number, the invoice date, and the supply date. HMRC requires sequential numbering for VAT invoices.
Your details and the customer’s
Your trading name, address, and VAT number (if registered), plus the customer’s name and address. For CIS work, include your UTR.
Itemised work and materials
Line items matching the quote, with any variations shown separately so the customer can reconcile against what they agreed.
VAT treatment — including reverse charge wording
Standard VAT invoices show the rate and amount per line. For CIS work between VAT-registered construction businesses, the domestic reverse charge may apply — the invoice must state “Reverse charge: customer to account for VAT to HMRC” and show the VAT rate but not charge it.
CIS deduction (labour-only lines)
Where the contractor deducts CIS, show gross labour, the materials element (not subject to deduction), the deduction rate and amount, and the net payable.
Payment details and terms
Bank details, payment due date (state “Payment due within X days”), and late-payment terms if you apply them.
Tips from the field
- Number invoices sequentially and never reuse a number — HMRC requirement for VAT invoices, and it keeps your debtors list sane.
- On CIS invoices, split labour and materials clearly: the contractor deducts CIS from labour only.
- State the payment due date as a date, not “30 days” — ambiguity is the friend of late payers.
