Sales invoicing

For the supply of most products, services and payments in advance, a VAT invoice is required.

This list shows the information that is required:

  • Date and number
  • Name
  • Address and official registration number of both the vendor and customer
  • Supply date of goods and services
  • Product description and quantity
  • Goods and services taxable value
  • Rate and tax value
  • A pre-printed number to account for all transactions
  • The word copy must be included on invoices that are copies.

Australia specifics

Tax invoices for the taxable sales of less than $1,000 must include enough information to clearly determine the content. This list shows the required information for Australia:

  • Vendor name
  • Australian Business Number (ABN) of the vendor
  • Recipient's identity or the ABN of the recipient
  • The terms Tax Invoice or GST Invoice.

    This requirement can be satisfied by including these words in the heading or in the body of the document so that the intention is clear:

    • Tax Invoice
    • GST Invoice
    • Recipient Created Tax Invoice
    • Tax Invoice Issued by the Recipient
    • Recipient Created GST Invoice
  • Description of supply, quantity, and GST inclusive price
  • The extent to which each supply is taxable
  • Date of issue of the tax invoice
  • Amount of GST payable for each supply

A company that is not GST-registered is required to use the normal invoice.
