What has to be on an Australian tax invoice

If you are registered for GST, the ATO expects seven things on the document before your client can claim the GST back. Miss one and the invoice can be knocked back, which is usually how a 14-day invoice quietly becomes a 60-day one.

  1. 1The words "Tax Invoice", so the document identifies itself
  2. 2Your business name, as it is registered
  3. 3Your ABN, all 11 digits
  4. 4The date you issued it
  5. 5A description of what you supplied, itemised
  6. 6The GST amount, or a statement that the total includes GST
  7. 7The total amount payable

Invoices of $1,000 or more need one extra field: the buyer’s identity or ABN. If you are not registered for GST, you must not charge GST and must not call the document a tax invoice - untick the GST box above and it becomes a plain invoice.

General information only, not tax advice. Check your own circumstances with the ATO or your accountant.

Questions

Is this invoice generator really free?

Yes. You can build an invoice and download the PDF without creating an account, without entering a card, and without a watermark on the document. There is no send limit because nothing is sent - the PDF is yours to email however you like.

Do I need an account to download the invoice?

No. The generator runs entirely in your browser and the PDF downloads straight to your device. You only need a free account if you want Free Invoice App to email the invoice for you, take card payments, or chase it when it goes overdue.

Is the invoice ATO-compliant?

It follows the ATO tax invoice format: the words "Tax Invoice", your business name and ABN, the issue date, a description of what you supplied, the GST amount, and the total payable. Tick the GST box only if you are registered for GST. If you are not registered you must not charge GST or call the document a tax invoice, and the generator handles that for you.

Does it calculate GST for me?

Yes. Tick "I am registered for GST" and 10% GST is calculated on every line and shown as a separate GST total, which is what the ATO requires on a tax invoice. Leave it unticked and the document is issued as a plain invoice with no GST.

Where is my data stored?

In your own browser only. Your business details and line items are saved to local storage so you do not lose your work if you refresh, and nothing is uploaded to our servers. Clearing your browser data clears the invoice.

Can I use this invoice generator on my phone?

Yes. The generator works on mobile browsers, which is how most tradies use it - fill it in on site, download the PDF, and send it before you have left the job.
