What a valid Australian tax invoice needs
GST-registered sellers generally need to provide a tax invoice within 28 days when a customer requests one. Buyers generally need a valid tax invoice to claim a GST credit for taxable purchases above A$82.50 including GST. For a tax invoice below A$1,000, the ATO requires:
- The words “Tax invoice”
- Your identity and ABN
- The invoice date
- A description of the items sold, with quantities and prices
- The GST amount shown separately, or a statement that the total includes GST
- The buyer’s identity or ABN for sales of $1,000 or more
For invoices of A$1,000 or more, also identify the buyer or show the buyer’s ABN. This tool pre-fills the document title TAX INVOICE and shows GST separately. Add your ABN to the business details and verify the final document before use.
The ABN and GST essentials
Two thresholds drive Australian invoicing:
- The ABN — a valid tax invoice must show the seller’s ABN. For some business-to-business payments, not quoting an ABN can require the payer to withhold 47% unless an exception applies.
- GST registration — the general threshold is A$75,000 of GST turnover, or A$150,000 for non-profit organisations. Check both current and projected turnover rules with the ATO. If you are not GST-registered, change the title to INVOICE and set GST to 0.
Getting paid faster down under
The pre-filled 14-day term is editable. Use the due date and payment method you agreed with the customer, and include only account details you are comfortable sharing on the final PDF. Send a quotation before the work and a receipt after payment to keep a clear record.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a document a valid tax invoice in Australia?
For taxable sales under A$1,000, an Australian tax invoice needs seven details: it must identify itself as a tax invoice; show the seller's identity and ABN, date, item description including quantity and price, GST amount or an 'includes GST' statement, and the taxable extent of each sale. At A$1,000 or more it must also identify the buyer or show the buyer's ABN.
Do I need an ABN to invoice in Australia?
A business can sometimes issue an ordinary invoice without quoting an ABN, but the payer may have to withhold 47% from certain payments unless an exception applies. A valid tax invoice must show the seller's ABN. Add it in the dedicated ABN field. Only GST-registered businesses should issue tax invoices and charge GST.
When do I have to register for and charge GST?
GST registration is compulsory once your turnover reaches A$75,000 (or $150,000 for non-profits). Once registered you add 10% GST — the default here. Below the threshold you can stay unregistered and set the GST rate to 0, but then you must not show GST on your invoices.
What paper size and payment terms are normal in Australia?
This template uses A4 and pre-fills a 14-day term for convenience, but payment terms are a commercial choice rather than a tax-invoice requirement. Edit the due date and terms to match what you agreed with the customer.
Is this Australian invoice generator free?
Yes — free, no account, no watermark. Your invoice is built entirely in your browser and never uploaded. Browser draft saving is off by default for new visitors; if enabled, it stays only in that browser until you disable it, press Reset or clear site data.
