Privacy details

What belongs on an Australian receipt

A useful receipt makes the seller, transaction date, sale and amount paid unambiguous. If the seller is registered for GST, it should also carry the information needed on a tax invoice.

Australian Consumer Law requires proof of transaction for purchases over A$75. Read the ACCC’s receipts and proof of purchase guidance and the ATO’s tax invoice requirements. General information only, not legal or tax advice.

Questions

Is this receipt generator really free?

Yes. You can build and download a receipt PDF without creating an account, entering a card or adding a watermark. The PDF is made in your browser.

What is the difference between an invoice and a receipt?

An invoice asks a customer to pay. A receipt confirms that payment has already been received. Use the invoice generator before payment and this receipt generator after payment.

Can the receipt also be a tax invoice?

If you are registered for GST, the generator titles the document “Tax Invoice / Receipt” and shows the supplier, ABN, date supplied, sale details, GST and total. For a GST sale of A$1,000 or more, it also requires the customer name or ABN before download. If you are not registered for GST, leave the GST option off.

Do Australian businesses have to give customers a receipt?

Under Australian Consumer Law, businesses must provide proof of transaction for goods or services worth more than A$75. For a transaction of A$75 or less, the customer can ask for proof and the business must provide it within seven days. This is general information, so check the ACCC guidance for your circumstances.

Can I make a receipt for a cash payment?

Yes. Choose Cash as the payment method. You can also record bank transfer, card, PayID, cheque or another payment method, plus an optional transaction reference.

Where is my receipt data stored?

The free generator stores the draft in your own browser so a refresh does not erase your work. Nothing is uploaded to Free Invoice App while you use the generator.
