Professional invoice template

Corporate clients check invoices carefully: VAT treatment, withholding tax, exact bank details and a logo that matches the sender. This template presents all of it on one clean page.

The sample below shows a consulting invoice with VAT charged and WHT deducted, the exact combination company accounts departments expect.

What makes an invoice look professional?

Completeness, not decoration. A logo, consistent numbers, VAT shown as its own line, WHT shown as a deduction where it applies, and bank details with the account name spelled out. This template enforces all of it.

Consistency matters too: sequential invoice numbers and the same layout every time signal a business that keeps proper records.

How to handle VAT and WHT together

Charge 7.5% VAT on the subtotal after any discount, then show withholding tax, commonly 5%, as a deduction from the total. The amount due is what the client actually pays you. The sample below demonstrates the full calculation.
