Three things that get plumber invoices paid faster
- 1Charge the call-out as its own line. A client who sees "call-out" and "labour" separately understands why a 20-minute fix still costs what it does.
- 2Name the fixture and brand you supplied, for example "Rheem 125L electric hot water system", so the warranty paperwork matches the invoice.
- 3Emergency after-hours work: say so in the description. The rate is easier to accept when the reason is on the invoice.
What has to be on the invoice
If you are registered for GST, the ATO expects seven things on a tax invoice before your client can claim the GST back. Miss one and the invoice can be knocked back, which is how a 14-day invoice quietly becomes a 60-day one.
- 1The words "Tax Invoice", so the document identifies itself
- 2Your business name, as it is registered
- 3Your ABN, all 11 digits
- 4The date you issued it
- 5A description of what you supplied, itemised
- 6The GST amount, or a statement that the total includes GST
- 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
Should I invoice before or after the job?
After, on the day, from the job if you can. Plumbing invoices sent the same day are paid fastest; invoices sent a week later get queried. For large jobs such as a bathroom renovation, agree a deposit and progress payments in the quote and invoice each stage.
Can I add a card surcharge?
Not since 1 October 2026. The card networks banned surcharges on eftpos, Visa and Mastercard payments from that date, so the fee is a cost of doing business to build into your rates, like fuel and insurance. You can still offer a discount for paying by bank transfer. With Free Invoice App there is no platform fee on card payments, only Stripe’s processing fee, and most plumbers find getting paid on the day is worth it.
Is this invoice generator really free?
Yes. Build the invoice and download the PDF without creating an account, entering a card or getting a watermark. You only need a free account if you want Free Invoice App to email the invoice, 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, an itemised description of what you supplied, the GST amount and the total payable. Tick the GST box only if you are registered for GST; leave it off and the document is issued as a plain invoice with no GST.
