CIS deductions, the VAT reverse charge, a deposit for parts, photos of the job, and the statutory interest a slow builder owes you. The invoicing bits of a plumbing business, sorted, so your evenings aren’t.
Your first 3 invoices are free to send, no card needed.
“CIS and the reverse charge take me an hour a night.”
Set your CIS rate once and Sendinvo takes the deduction off the labour, shows the gross total with the net amount due, and adds the reverse-charge wording. Pay the net and the invoice settles in full.
See a CIS invoice in the demo“Homeowners want to pay there and then, not post a cheque.”
Every invoice carries a pay-by-card link. Your customer taps it, pays, and the invoice marks itself paid before you’ve packed up the van. Sendinvo takes no platform cut, so the payment’s yours, less Stripe’s own card fee.
How card payments work“Builders sit on my invoice for 60, 90 days.”
Reminders escalate on their own until it’s settled. If a sterling invoice runs overdue, Sendinvo works out the statutory interest and compensation you’re owed and drafts an interest invoice in a click.

CIS at 20%, the reverse charge applied, and the books that balance when the net lands.
The customer accounts for the VAT to HMRC. Pay the £2,810.00 net and Sendinvo settles the invoice in full.
Yes. Set your CIS rate once, 20%, 30% or 0% for gross-payment status, and Sendinvo takes the deduction off the labour on each sterling invoice, shows the full total with a net amount due, and handles the VAT domestic reverse charge. When your contractor pays the net amount, the invoice settles in full.
Yes. For CIS work between VAT-registered businesses, apply the domestic reverse charge and the invoice shows no VAT and carries the HMRC wording automatically. It appears as part of the CIS flow, for VAT-registered companies.
Yes. Attach up to two photos to an invoice, the before and the after, say, and they appear on the invoice document and in the PDF you send. Handy proof of the work for the record.
Yes. Ask for a deposit as a percentage or a fixed amount, with its own due date, shown on the invoice with the balance. It’s available without a subscription, within your free-invoice allowance.
On an overdue sterling invoice, Sendinvo works out the statutory interest you’re owed, the Bank of England base rate you keep in step plus 8%, along with the fixed compensation, and drafts a separate interest invoice in one click.
Send your first invoice free and let CIS, VAT and the chasing take care of themselves.
