Can I apply reduced or zero VAT rates to specific items?

Yes, set the rate per item — standard, reduced, or zero — and StashBill applies it on the invoice.

Does my VAT number need a specific format?

Enter it as issued by HMRC (e.g. GB123456789) — StashBill displays it on invoices exactly as entered.
