How to make an Australian tax invoice in under a minute

Fill in the form, watch the live preview, and download or save. Here is the full walkthrough.

01Add your business name, address and ABN (your 11-digit Australian Business Number), then the customer’s name and, for a sale of 1,000 AUD or more, their address or ABN.
02Add each supply as a line item with a description, quantity and price. The subtotal and GST recalculate live.
03GST is pre-set to 10%. Untick taxable on GST-free lines (basic food, most health and education services, exports) so the GST shown is correct for each item.
04Set a unique invoice number, the invoice date and the due date, upload your logo, and make sure the currency shows AUD.
05Keep "Tax invoice" at the start of the notes, add your payment terms and bank details (BSB and account number), then click Download free PDF.

The notes start with "Tax invoice. Total price includes GST. Payment due within 30 days of the invoice date." Prices in this tool are entered exclusive of GST, so edit that sentence if you prefer to show the GST amount separately rather than as an inclusive total. The PDF is a document you give your customer; nothing is filed with or sent to any tax authority, and registering for the tax, charging the right rate and reporting it remain your responsibility.

What must an Australian tax invoice include?

The ATO requires specific details before a document counts as a tax invoice, and a GST-registered customer needs a valid one to claim the GST credit on purchases over 82.50 AUD. Include the following.

The words "Tax invoice" clearly on the document
Your identity: business name or trading name
Your Australian Business Number (ABN)
The date the invoice was issued
A brief description of each item sold, with the quantity and price
The GST amount payable, if any, shown separately or as a statement such as "Total price includes GST"
Which items are taxable, if not all of them carry GST
For sales of 1,000 AUD or more, the buyer’s identity or ABN
A unique invoice number and your payment terms

Taxes, VAT, GST, and multiple currencies

You can mark each line item taxable or not and set the rate, so a single invoice can mix taxed and untaxed items. This per-item control is something many simple tools cannot do, where one document is limited to one tax rate.

Documents render in 12 currencies with locale-correct formatting: USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, JPY, INR, PKR, MXN, NZD, ZAR, and SGD. That covers VAT in the EU and UK, GST in India, Australia and Canada, and US sales tax. Need detailed tax handling across your whole workflow? See the tax feature.

Frequently asked questions

What are the ATO tax invoice requirements?

A tax invoice for a sale under 1,000 AUD must show the words "Tax invoice", the seller’s identity and ABN, the date of issue, a brief description of each item with quantity and price, the GST amount (or a statement that the total includes GST), and which items are taxable if not all are. For sales of 1,000 AUD or more it must also show the buyer’s identity or ABN. A document missing any of these is not a tax invoice, and a customer cannot claim GST credits on it. Your customer can ask you for a compliant tax invoice and you must supply it within 28 days.

What is the GST rate in Australia?

GST is a flat 10% on most goods and services, which is what this tool starts with. Some supplies are GST-free (most basic food, many health, medical and education services, exports) and some are input-taxed (residential rent, most financial supplies); neither carries GST, so untick taxable on those lines. There are no reduced rates.

Do I have to register for GST?

You must register once your GST turnover reaches 75,000 AUD a year (150,000 AUD for non-profits), or as soon as you provide taxi or ride-sourcing services regardless of turnover. Below that you may register voluntarily. If you are not registered you must not charge GST, must not describe the document as a tax invoice and should not claim GST credits: delete "Tax invoice" from the notes, untick taxable on every line, and the document becomes a plain invoice, which is what your customer expects from an unregistered supplier.

Should I show prices including or excluding GST?

Either is allowed on a tax invoice as long as the GST amount is clear, but the ATO expects consumer-facing prices to be GST-inclusive. This tool takes GST-exclusive unit prices and adds GST as a separate line in the totals, so your customer sees the price, the GST and the total. If you prefer the "Total price includes GST" style, keep that sentence in the notes; the printed GST amount still satisfies the requirement.

Is my client data safe?

Yes. Everything you type stays in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored on our servers unless you create an account and save the document yourself. See our privacy policy for details.

What currencies are supported?

USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, JPY, INR, PKR, MXN, NZD, ZAR, and SGD, each formatted correctly for its locale.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Everything runs in your browser. There is nothing to download or install.

What happens when I create an account?

Your invoice is carried straight into your new Invoice My Clients account. Your invoice arrives ready, PDF generated, so you can send it and get paid online. From there you can edit it, send it, track payment, and get paid online.

Does it remember my business details?

Yes. Your own business details, logo, currency, and payment information are saved on your device (in your browser, never on our servers) so you do not re-enter them next time, and your invoice number auto-increments from the last one you used. Client details, line items, and amounts are never saved. You can clear everything any time with the "Clear saved details" link above the form.

Is there a Spanish version?

Yes. The same invoice generator is available in Spanish, with the document, the labels and the PDF in Spanish, at the "Español" link in the header.
