GST invoice requirements (Australia)

If your business is registered for GST, the ATO requires your tax invoices to include specific information. A compliant tax invoice for sales of $1,000 or more should display:

• The words “Tax Invoice”
• Your business name and ABN
• The date the invoice was issued
• A brief description of the items sold (including quantity)
• The GST amount (10%) or a statement that the total includes GST
• The buyer’s identity or ABN (for sales over $1,000)

Our generator includes a GST toggle that automatically calculates 10% GST and labels the invoice as a Tax Invoice — making it ATO-friendly for most small Australian businesses.

Tips for small businesses & tradies

• Send invoices the same day the work is completed — the faster you invoice, the faster you get paid.
• Set clear payment terms (e.g. 7 or 14 days). Add bank details and preferred payment methods in the notes section.
• Use sequential invoice numbers so it’s easy to keep track in your bookkeeping software at tax time.
• Keep a copy of every invoice — the ATO requires you to retain business records for at least 5 years.
• Follow up politely if an invoice is overdue — most late payments are oversights, not refusals.
