What needs to be on an electrician’s tax invoice in Australia?

Tax invoices are governed by ATO requirements. In general, if you’re registered for GST, a tax invoice should include:

  • Words “Tax Invoice” clearly displayed
  • Your business name and ABN
  • The invoice date
  • A brief description of what you supplied (labour, call-out, materials)
  • The total amount payable
  • GST amount (or that the total includes GST)

If you’re not registered for GST, don’t charge GST and don’t label it as a tax invoice.
