VAT is shown in the selected currency. This page does not convert the VAT amount to sterling.

A purchase order is the buyer's order, not a tax invoice. Tax is printed only from a rate you type.

How to fill this in

HMRC treats the purchase order as the buyer's order and the tax invoice as a later document from the supplier. This page does not create that invoice and is not evidence for reclaiming VAT.

Type a VAT rate only when you want one on the order. The page does not apply 20% and does not convert the amount into sterling. A VAT number is printed only when you type it on the buyer or the supplier.

The ship-to address and the delivery date stay blank until you enter them. Payment terms go in the notes.

Choose A4 or US Letter before you download. Empty dates, rates, and business numbers stay empty. A tax row is added only from a rate you type. This purchase order is not a tax invoice.
