What a tax invoice must include in Australia

If you're registered for GST, your customers need a valid tax invoice to claim a GST credit. For sales under A$1,000 a tax invoice generally shows:

  • The words “tax invoice”
  • Your identity and ABN
  • The date the invoice is issued
  • A description of the items sold, including quantity and price
  • The GST amount (or a statement that the total price includes GST)
  • For sales of A$1,000 or more, the buyer's identity or ABN

The generator above lays all of this out for you automatically.

Do I have to charge GST?

Only if you're registered for GST. You must register once your turnover reaches A$75,000 in a 12-month period; below that it's optional. Australian GST is 10%, added on top of your ex-GST prices.
