Frequently asked questions
What is a tax invoice?
An invoice is a request for a payment, similar to a bill. It lists the products or services provided to your customers and what they owe you in return. A tax invoice template has certain legal requirements for things like business names, payment terms, and an invoice date. It’s important to get invoicing right because it’s how you get paid and maintain healthy cash flow. If your business is built around providing goods & freelance services, having to track invoices will likely be a huge part of your daily admin. Our Australian invoice template can save you time & money.
What should I include on a tax invoice template?
Your tax invoice must include the following 7 pieces of information to be valid. These include the words ‘Tax invoice’ – preferably at the top, business name (or trading name), Australian Business Number (ABN), invoice issue date, brief description of the goods or services sold including quantity and price, the GST amount payable (if any) and the extent to which each item sold includes GST.
Should I customise my invoice template?
Using a basic invoice layout is an easy way to avoid overdue invoices since customers will be familiar with it. However, that doesn’t mean your invoices have to be boring. Add your business branding through the use of business logos, accent colours, font, personal messages, or even small advertising to your invoices to entice repeat business.
Why is invoicing important?
An invoice is how you get paid. It lets the buyer know how much they owe you, when the payment is due, and the ways in which they can pay. Invoicing is also extremely important for tax reasons and staying compliant with ATO. When you run your own business, save copies of your invoices to report how much you earned, if you’re GST registered, and track how much tax you’ve collected.
Are invoices and tax invoices different?
If your small business is registered for the Goods and Services Tax (GST), your customized invoices must say “tax invoice.” A regular invoice is for businesses not registered for GST. For more, refer to our guide on GST.

What are some tips for invoicing?
- Check formatting, spelling, and grammar, and ensure invoices are correct before sending. Unprofessional invoices can affect your brand image and even prevent you from getting paid!
- Ensure your invoices look good in print and can be read easily on mobile devices.
- Create an email address specifically for invoicing and accounting. For example, set up accounts@yourcompany.com and send all your invoices from that email. This will have a stronger impact on the buyer when asked for payments.
- Set crystal-clear terms on the invoice so that you get paid on time, and include late fees associated with late payments on the invoice.
