How to invoice in Australia

What a valid invoice must include

• The words 'tax invoice'
• Your identity and ABN
• Issue date
• Description, quantity and price
• GST amount, or a statement that the total includes GST
• Buyer's identity or ABN when the total is AUD 1,000 or more

Good to know

A tax invoice is required for sales over AUD 82.50 including GST when the customer asks for one.

Invoicing Australia clients from abroad

If you are not based in Australia, the rules of your own country usually decide what goes on the invoice. Business-to-business services supplied across borders are often outside the scope of local tax or fall under reverse charge. Invoice in AUD if your client prefers it, so they pay the exact amount.
