How to invoice a client in the United Kingdom from India

Indian freelancers usually bill UK clients in pounds sterling and are paid by bank transfer (some clients send it through services like Wise) or PayPal. A clear invoice usually shows your GSTIN if you are registered, the client’s details and, if you have filed a Letter of Undertaking (LUT), an export note.

Sample invoice from India to the United Kingdom

The export note applies only if you have filed a Letter of Undertaking (LUT).

What to include

Commonly included

Bill in pounds sterling (GBP), which UK clients usually expect and can pay without converting.
Show your business name, address and GSTIN if you are GST-registered, plus the client’s company name and address.
Give clear payment details: bank transfer with your bank’s SWIFT code, or a PayPal link. Some clients send bank transfers through services like Wise.

May be relevant

Suppliers based outside the UK generally do not charge UK VAT on services to UK businesses; the business client usually accounts for any VAT itself. Selling to individuals can work differently.
If you have filed a Letter of Undertaking, the LUT export note is wording businesses commonly use on Indian export invoices.
