Choose your invoice template:

If your business is not registered for GST, you can just use an 'Invoice' template. If your business is GST-registered, you'll need to use the 'Tax Invoice' template.

Invoicing FAQs

  • If you’re a sole trader, a freelancer, a solopreneur or just dipping your toes in business, you should be invoicing for a few very good reasons.

    Invoicing is key to getting paid on time, and the right amount. By sending your buyers or clients a professional invoice that clearly tells them how much to pay, when they need to pay by, and how to pay – you’re much more likely to actually get paid.

    Plus, as your business grows, invoicing is hugely important in keeping your business compliant with the ATO. By keeping track of your invoices, you can tell the ATO how much money you have made and how much tax you owe.

  • Whether you use an Invoice or a Tax Invoice comes down to whether your business is registered for GST.

    If you’re registered for GST, you need to use a Tax Invoice. If not, you can use a regular invoice – which does not say Tax Invoice at the top.

    The main difference is that Tax Invoices are required to include some extra information on your invoices (though you will often find some of these on regular invoices, too). They include:

    1. The words ‘Tax Invoice’ prominently
    2. Your name and contact details identity
    3. Your ABN
    4. When the invoice was issues
    5. A brief description of the items sold, including the quantity (if applicable) and the price
    6. Any GST amount that’s payable
    7. The extent to which each sale on the invoice is a taxable sale
