Things are looking a lot better now!
Both those invoices appear to comply with the requirements shown on the link you used (
https://www.gov.uk/vat-record-keeping/vat-invoices?) The simplified invoice is slightly over compliant, but we think that's a better approach and it is still a simple document.
In our Live and Dev stores currently, the price for shipping is only shown as a VAT inclusive (Gross) amount and is shown separate from the table containing the products within the invoice view. That's the way the current module works.
With the full invoice, yes we think it should be shown exactly as you have illustrated. The simplified invoice view is different, but is still correct and for both invoices, yes, we think it's much clearer to show the shipping as part of the table within the invoice, as you intend to do.
Our thoughts on invoice item label names are 'less is more' so shortened labels could work fine too - Full Invoice example:
Product | Price Ex VAT | VAT | Price Incl VAT | Qty | Total
Subtotal | VAT | Discount | Total
These can be customised / altered by end users anyway, but thought it worth a mention
@ITVV We can see your thoughts behind
VAT Amount Unit You mean show the actual amount of VAT charged on each product (as well as showing the VAT rate on each product) within the table. Ironically this item isn't actually a HMRC invoice requirement (that must be a first!) and having just looked through lots of our own UK purchase invoices, it's only a random inclusion amongst them all. It's a valid point and other users may want it included, but we ourselves are happy to live without that extra item.
