Invoice or tax invoice? Australian rules for sole traders and small businesses
Which document you send depends on one thing: whether you are registered for GST. You must register once your GST turnover reaches $75,000 a year ($150,000 for non-profits), within 21 days of hitting it (ATO). Below the threshold registration is optional.
| Registered for GST | Not registered for GST | |
|---|---|---|
| Title on the document | “Tax Invoice” | “Invoice” — never “Tax Invoice” |
| Charge GST? | Yes, 10% on taxable sales | No — leave the Tax field off |
| Show your ABN? | Required | Strongly recommended (see withholding below) |
| Must provide on request? | Yes, within 28 days, for sales over $82.50 incl. GST | No legal requirement |
What a tax invoice must include
- The words “Tax Invoice” (set the invoice title in the generator)
- Your business name and ABN
- The date you issue it
- A description of what you sold, including quantity and price
- The GST amount payable — set Tax to 10% and label it GST
- For sales of $1,000 or more, the buyer’s identity or ABN — fill in “Bill To”
Sources: ATO — Tax invoices, business.gov.au — How to invoice.
Always include your ABN — or lose 47% of the payment
If you don’t quote an ABN, a business paying you more than $75 (excluding GST) generally has to withhold 47% of the invoice amount and send it to the ATO (ATO — withholding if ABN not provided). You can claim it back at tax time, but it wrecks your cash flow in the meantime. Put your ABN in the “From” section of every invoice, whether or not you are registered for GST.
Good practice for getting paid on time
- Number every invoice uniquely (e.g. INV-0001) so you and your client can match payments.
- State a due date and payment terms — 7 or 14 days is common for sole traders; agree it before you start the work.
- Put your bank details (BSB and account number) or PayID in the notes so clients can pay straight away.
- Keep a copy — the ATO requires business records, including invoices, to be kept for five years (ATO).
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this invoice generator really free?
Yes — completely free. There are no hidden fees, no subscription, and no watermark on your PDF. Create and download as many invoices as you need.
Do I need to create an account or sign up?
No account or sign up is required. Fill in your invoice details and download the PDF directly from your browser.
What is the difference between an invoice and a tax invoice?
Only GST-registered businesses can issue a tax invoice. If you are not registered for GST, your document must be titled "Invoice", not "Tax Invoice", and must not charge GST. Change the title at the top of the generator and leave the Tax field off.
What must an Australian tax invoice include?
The words "Tax Invoice", your business name and ABN, the date of issue, a description of what you sold including quantity and price, and the GST payable. For sales of $1,000 or more it must also show the buyer's identity or ABN.
Do I have to register for GST before I invoice?
Only once your GST turnover reaches $75,000 a year ($150,000 for non-profits), and you must register within 21 days of reaching it. Below that, registration is optional — many sole traders invoice without GST.
Can I add GST to my invoice?
Yes, if you are registered for GST. Enable the Tax field, set it to 10% and change the label to GST. The GST amount is calculated automatically and shown in the totals.
What happens if I don't put my ABN on an invoice?
A business paying you more than $75 (excluding GST) generally has to withhold 47% of the payment and send it to the ATO if you have not quoted an ABN. Always include your ABN to get paid in full.
Can I add my business logo and ABN to the invoice?
Yes. Click the logo area at the top-left of the invoice and upload any image file. Add your ABN in the "From" business details section. Both will appear on the downloaded PDF.
What currencies does the invoice generator support?
Over 40 currencies are supported including AUD, USD, EUR, GBP, NZD, SGD, INR, JPY, and more. Select your currency from the Invoice Settings panel.
Can I add a discount or shipping charge?
Yes. Click "+ Discount" or "+ Shipping" in the totals section to add either as a flat amount or percentage. They are automatically included in the total calculation.
Is my invoice data stored anywhere?
No. The invoice is built and the PDF generated in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to or stored on our servers.
