VAT Invoice App: Create VAT Invoices on Your Phone

Updated · 3 min read · PocketInvoice Team

With PocketInvoice you can create VAT invoices on your phone in seconds: add your VAT number to your business profile, save the VAT rates you use (standard, reduced, or zero), and apply them to any invoice. Works in £, €, and 100+ other currencies — free, offline, no account.

What a VAT invoice includes

A standard VAT invoice generally shows:

  • Your business name, address, and VAT number
  • A unique invoice number and date
  • The customer's name and details
  • Description of goods or services with quantities and rates
  • The net amount, the VAT rate applied, and the VAT amount
  • Total amount payable

Exact requirements differ from country to country — your accountant can confirm what applies to your business. PocketInvoice covers the fields above out of the box.

Set up VAT in PocketInvoice once

  1. Add your VAT number: open your business profile and enter it in the tax number field — it then appears on every invoice you create.
  2. Save your VAT rates: create the named rates you actually use (for example VAT 20%, VAT 5%, or a zero rate) — one time, reusable on every invoice.
  3. Set your currency and date format: pick £, €, or any of 100+ currencies in settings.

Apply VAT per line item

Each line item on a PocketInvoice invoice carries its own tax rate, so standard-rated and reduced-rated items can sit on the same invoice. Enter your prices, apply the saved rate per item, and the VAT amount and invoice total calculate automatically — no manual math, no formula errors.
