As a sole trader, there's no legal requirement to have a fancy invoicing system — you just need something that clearly shows who you are, what you did, what it cost, and how the customer should pay you. That's exactly what this tool produces, with your trading name and address in one box and your customer's details in the other.
Many sole traders aren't VAT registered (you only have to register once your taxable turnover passes the current threshold), so by default this invoice keeps things simple: no VAT section unless you switch it on for a particular invoice or set a default in your account settings.
Keep a free account and every invoice is dated and totalled automatically in your dashboard, which makes life considerably easier when you come to fill in your Self Assessment tax return.
