VAT Invoice Generator — Create VAT-Compliant Invoices Free

🧾VAT Invoice Generator — Create Professional VAT Invoices for Free

A VAT invoice is not just a payment request — it is a legally required document in most countries with a value-added tax system. In the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the UK, the EU, and dozens of other jurisdictions, VAT-registered businesses are legally obligated to issue VAT-compliant invoices that include specific fields: the seller's VAT registration number, the buyer's details, a breakdown of the VAT amount, and the applicable VAT rate. A regular invoice without these elements is not VAT-compliant and cannot be used by your client to reclaim input VAT.

This VAT invoice generator creates fully compliant invoices in seconds. Fill in your company details, add line items with quantities and prices, set your VAT rate — 5% for UAE/Saudi Arabia, 20% for the UK, 15%, 25%, or any custom rate — and download a professionally formatted PDF invoice instantly. No watermarks, no signup, no data leaving your device.

📌What Must a VAT Invoice Contain?

• The word "Tax Invoice" or "VAT Invoice": Most VAT authorities — including the UAE Federal Tax Authority — require the document to be explicitly labelled as a tax invoice. A document labelled only as "Invoice" may not be accepted for input VAT recovery by your client.
• Your VAT Registration Number (VRN / TRN): The seller's VAT number must appear prominently on the invoice. In the UAE this is a 15-digit Tax Registration Number (TRN). In the UK it is prefixed with "GB". Without this, the invoice is not VAT-compliant.
• Invoice date and a unique invoice number: Every VAT invoice must have a date of issue and a sequential, unique invoice reference number that allows the document to be traced in your accounting records.
• Description of goods or services: Each line item must describe what was supplied, the quantity, the unit price, and the total amount before VAT.
• VAT rate and VAT amount per line item: The rate of VAT applied (e.g. 5%) and the actual VAT amount calculated (e.g. AED 25.00) must be shown separately from the net price. This is the core requirement that distinguishes a VAT invoice from a regular invoice.
• Total amount payable including VAT: The grand total including all taxes must be clearly stated. Many jurisdictions also require the total to be stated in the local currency.
• Buyer's details: The name and address of the buyer. For B2B transactions where the buyer is also VAT-registered, the buyer's VAT number is typically required so they can claim input VAT.
