I bought cleaning products (window cleaner as a secondary occupation) and want to resell a water bottle to a family member, but how do I invoice this?

Question

A family member would like to buy a bottle of cleaning product. This is for entirely private purposes.

They deposited the money for these goods into my business account. Do I need to issue a sales invoice for this?

If so, is that incl. VAT?

The purchase invoice for the cleaning products is already in my accounts. (purchase of work materials)

Issue an invoice in their name, for at least your purchase price (you are not allowed to sell at a loss), add 21% VAT automatically and send it. They must pay you incl. VAT. Costs (i.e. the cleaning products for you) are currently in the same category as goods for sale.
