ATO Tax Invoice Requirements

The Australian Taxation Office requires specific information on tax invoices for GST-registered businesses. A valid tax invoice must include the words "Tax Invoice" prominently displayed, your Australian Business Number (ABN), the date of issue, a brief description of items or services supplied, the quantity and price of each item, the total GST amount payable (or a statement that the total price includes GST), and the identity of the supplier. For invoices totalling $1,000 or more (including GST), the buyer's identity and ABN must also be included. Our invoice maker automatically structures your invoices to meet these ATO requirements.

  • Display "Tax Invoice" heading on every invoice
  • Include your ABN for PAYG compliance
  • Itemised descriptions with quantities and unit prices
  • GST amount shown separately or stated as inclusive
  • Buyer ABN required for invoices over $1,000
  • Issue within 28 days of a buyer's request

GST in Australia

Australia's Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a broad-based tax of 10% on most goods, services, and other items sold or consumed in Australia. Businesses with an annual turnover of $75,000 or more ($150,000 for non-profit organisations) must register for GST. Understanding the three categories of supplies is essential for correct invoicing:

Taxable Supplies (10% GST)

Most goods and services sold in Australia attract the standard 10% GST rate. Businesses collect GST on behalf of the ATO and remit it through their Business Activity Statement (BAS).

GST-Free Supplies

Certain items are GST-free, including most basic food, some health services, educational courses, exports, and childcare. These supplies do not include GST in the price, but sellers can still claim input tax credits.

Input-Taxed Supplies

Input-taxed supplies include financial services and residential rent. No GST is charged on these supplies, and sellers cannot claim input tax credits for related purchases.

ABN and Business Registration

An Australian Business Number (ABN) is an 11-digit identifier issued by the Australian Business Register. Every business operating in Australia should have an ABN, and it must be displayed on all tax invoices. Without an ABN on your invoice, the payer may be required to withhold 47% of the payment amount under the pay-as-you-go (PAYG) withholding rules. Our invoice maker includes a dedicated ABN field to ensure your invoices are always compliant. You can apply for an ABN free of charge through the Australian Business Register website, and registration is typically processed within minutes for straightforward applications.
