ATO Legal Requirements for Australian Tax Invoices
Under Australian tax law, if you are registered for GST (mandatory when annual turnover exceeds $75,000 AUD), you must issue a valid Tax Invoice within 28 days of a customer's request. To be valid for GST credits, your invoice must include:
- The words 'Tax Invoice' prominently stated at the top.
- Your business name and 11-digit Australian Business Number (ABN).
- The invoice date of issue.
- An itemized list of goods or services supplied, including quantity and price.
- The GST amount payable (either shown separately or stated as 'total price includes GST' with a 10% calculation).
- For invoices of $1,000 AUD or more, the buyer's identity or ABN must also be shown.
