How to fill in each field
Certificate reference
Reference any electrical certificate (e.g. EICR) issued with the job.
Common mistake: No certificate reference, which customers and inspectors expect for electrical work.
Call-out, labor, materials
Split the call-out, labor hours and materials into separate lines.
Common mistake: One combined figure that hides how the total was reached.
License number
Show your electrical license/registration; often legally required on the invoice.
Common mistake: Omitting the license, undermining trust and compliance.
Tax base
Apply tax per local rules — materials are often taxed, labor may differ.
Common mistake: Applying tax to the wrong base and overcharging.

Frequently asked questions
What should an electrician invoice include?+
Your business and license number, the customer and site, any certificate reference, the call-out fee, labor as hours × rate, materials, tax on the correct base, and the total.
Should an electrical invoice reference a certificate?+
Yes, when a safety/compliance certificate (like an EICR) is issued, reference it on the invoice so the customer has a linked record for inspections and resale.
Do electricians charge a call-out fee?+
Commonly yes, to cover travel and assessment. List it as a separate line distinct from the repair or installation labor.
