What is this form?
A tax invoice is a legal document required for GST-registered businesses in Australia. It must include specific information such as your ABN, the words 'Tax Invoice', itemised goods or services, and GST amounts if applicable.
Who needs this form?
You need to issue a tax invoice if you are registered for GST in Australia and have made a taxable sale of goods or services. Your customer requires a valid tax invoice to claim GST credits on their tax return. This applies to all GST-registered businesses regardless of size, from sole traders to large corporations.
Tips for filling it out
- Include the words 'Tax Invoice' prominently at the top of the document
- Provide your business details including name, ABN, and address
- List each item or service separately with quantities, prices, and GST amounts
- Show the total amount including GST and indicate the GST amount separately
- Include the date of issue, invoice number, and payment terms
Common mistakes to avoid
- Missing ABN - without a valid ABN, your invoice is not a valid tax invoice for GST purposes
- Incorrect GST calculation - ensure you are charging 10% GST on taxable items only
- No unique invoice number - each tax invoice must have a unique identifier for record-keeping
Frequently asked questions
