Some jobs mix VAT rates: standard-rated labour next to reduced-rate materials. Set the rate on each line and Sendinvo shows a separate VAT subtotal for every band, with the totals worked out and reconciled to the penny.
Your first 3 invoices are free to send, no card needed.
On a sterling invoice, tick “Set VAT per line”. It’s there for VAT-registered businesses, and off until you switch it on, so a single-rate invoice stays simple.
Give each line its own rate: 0%, 5% (reduced), or 20% (standard). Leave a line unset and it uses the invoice’s document rate, so you only touch the lines that differ.
Sendinvo groups the lines by rate and shows a VAT subtotal for each one, like “VAT 20% on £800.00” and “VAT 5% on £200.00”. One rate shows one VAT line.
The subtotal, the VAT, and the total are worked out for you and always add up. Send it, and the same per-line rates carry through to quotes and credit notes.
A mixed-rate job used to mean a spreadsheet on the side. Per-line VAT keeps it on the invoice, worked out line by line and grouped into subtotals your client can follow.
When an invoice mixes rates, each band gets its own subtotal, so nothing hides inside a single blended figure. A job at one rate shows a single VAT line, exactly as it always has. The same grouping appears on the invoice, quote, and credit-note documents, so a mixed-rate job reads the same wherever it lands.
Put a discount on the whole invoice and it’s spread across the lines in proportion to their value, then reconciled to the penny before any VAT is worked out. VAT is charged on the discounted amounts, so the subtotal, the per-band VAT, and the total always agree, with no stray rounding.
Per-line VAT is for VAT-registered companies invoicing in GBP, and stays off until you tick “Set VAT per line”. Invoicing in another currency? See ten currencies. Working under the Construction Industry Scheme? CIS invoices handle the deduction on top.
Set the rates once and they follow the job. A quote you convert keeps its per-line VAT on the invoice, and a credit note against a mixed-rate invoice keeps the same bands, so a partial refund credits the right VAT on each line.
A mixed-rate invoice groups the lines by rate and totals each band on its own.
Yes. Tick “Set VAT per line” and give each line its own rate: 0%, 5% (reduced), or 20% (standard). Leave a line unset and it uses the invoice’s document rate. A mixed-rate invoice then shows a separate VAT subtotal for each band.
Sendinvo groups the lines by rate and gives each band its own subtotal, like “VAT 20% on £800.00” and “VAT 5% on £200.00”. A single-rate invoice shows one VAT line as usual.
A discount on the whole invoice is spread across the lines in proportion to their value and reconciled to the penny before any VAT is worked out. VAT is charged on the discounted amounts, so the subtotal, the per-band VAT, and the total always agree.
It’s for VAT-registered companies, the ones with a VAT number, invoicing in GBP, and it stays off until you tick “Set VAT per line”. Leave it off and the invoice keeps a single VAT rate.
Yes. The same per-line rates and per-band subtotals appear on quotes, invoices, and credit notes, so a mixed-rate job reads the same from the quote through to any credit note.
Set the VAT on each line, let Sendinvo group the bands and balance the totals, and send an invoice that adds up.
