    This happens because the app’s tax settings are a bit out of sync, forcing you to pick a tax code even though you're a sole trader.

     

    To fix it, try a quick force-close and reopen the app. Then go to Settings > Refresh Data to get everything synced up. It’s also worth checking your app store to make sure you're on the latest version.

     

    If the error persist, try logging into your account via a desktop web browser to create the invoice. The desktop version usually plays much nicer with sole trader tax-exemption options.
