My employer wants me to change the dates of my invoices...?
I had invoiced my employer at various times from May 2012 through to March 2013. She has paid me up to date.
She now wants me to change and re-date all invoices to before June 2012.
Is this illegal and is this likely because it's end of financial year and she wants to avoid tax or something?
Sorry, Jo W had a point.
I work full time for this company but as a contractor. So I should've said I was invoicing my contractor.

If you are invoicing you are not an employee and you don't have an employer.
What your client is proposing is certainly unlawful if the work was carried out and payment was due AFTER June 2012.
Don't do it.

You said invoices. Are taxes being withheld for you? If not, then whatever they need for their accounting purposes our their internal situation not yours. But I would most certainly ask them why they want you to do this. Double check with a professional account, in the US it's a CPA, and get their opinion and let them ask you more questions.
They might be doing this because they need to charge the project you were working on to a different budget and they screwed up, and just trying to fix it. But you really need to ask them why.
