Change invoice template post-draft

Support
1

I became registered for VAT effective 1/04/26, and around the same time registered for MTD and started using QuickFile. I issued the first invoice of the tax year (on 13/04) the “old-fashioned” way (word/PDF), no VAT or Reg. number. When I generated subsequent invoices in QF I left a spare number so I could create a duplicate in QF and have a full set. I’ve just done that and although I was able to set the VAT to 0 manually, when I previewed the draft I realised that the template includes my VAT registration number. I can’t find a way to change the template post-draft stage and I don’t want to get into the complication of deleting the invoice and not being able to reuse the number - do I have any options?

The vat number will show on the invoice if 2 things are set

  1. You have vat enabled on the account (you have a vat number in the vat settings)

  2. You have the template set to show the vat number (Sales > Invoice customisation)

For the customer you could just disable it (option 2) and produce and send the invoice (so it doesn’t show) then turn it back on (NOTE: if you then reprint the invoice in future it would show)
