How IT contractors usually bill

Usually a day rate against approved timesheets, sometimes a fixed-price deliverable. Invoice to the agency or the end client, whoever holds your contract.

What to put on your invoice

  • Your business name and contact details (and company number if you are a limited company)
  • Your client's name and address, and their PO or project reference
  • A unique invoice number, for example INV-OCT-001
  • Issue date, due date and payment terms
  • A clear description, quantity and price for each line
  • Tax, only if you are registered, with the rate and amount
  • How to pay: a card payment link and your bank details

Tips to get paid faster

  • Match the PO number and cost centre exactly.
  • Invoice in the contract currency and state the payment terms from your contract.
  • Keep any employment-status assessment (such as a UK IR35 determination) with each contract.
