What is a tax invoice in Australia?
A tax invoice in Australia is a document issued by a GST-registered supplier that allows the buyer to claim back the GST they paid. It is different from a plain invoice because it must include the supplier's ABN and show the 10% GST amount as a separate line (or the statement “Total price includes GST”) - this is required by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
If your annual GST turnover is over A$75,000 you are required to register for GST and issue tax invoices. If you are below that threshold you can still issue invoices, but they should not be titled “Tax Invoice” or charge GST, because you are not GST-registered.
Use our free GST calculator to work out the correct 10% GST amount before you complete the template, or check our AU tax invoice requirements guide for the full ATO checklist.
What an Australian tax invoice must include
The ATO sets out the minimum fields a valid Australian tax invoice must contain for sales over A$82.50. This free invoice template AU covers all of them:
The words "Tax Invoice"
Must appear prominently - only if you are GST-registered.
Supplier name and ABN
Your 11-digit Australian Business Number.
Invoice date
The date the invoice was issued.
Description of goods or services
Enough detail for the buyer to identify what was supplied.
GST amount (10%)
Shown as a separate line, or "Total price includes GST" when GST is exactly 1/11 of the total.
Buyer identity or ABN (invoices A$1,000+)
Required in addition to the fields above for higher-value invoices.
Sales of A$82.50 or less don't need a tax invoice unless the buyer asks for one (you then have 28 days to provide it). Read the full breakdown, including the no-ABN 47% withholding rule, in our ABN invoicing guide.
Invoice template vs invoicing software
A free invoice template AU works well when you are starting out or send a handful of invoices per month. Download it, fill in your details, save as PDF, and email to your client - no account needed.
The friction grows when you start repeating yourself: re-typing the same client details, manually tracking which invoices are paid, and recalculating GST each time. That is when invoicing software like Invio saves real time - saved clients, automatic GST, payment tracking, and ATO-compliant tax invoices in under 60 seconds.
Start with the free template. When the admin overhead starts to add up, Invio's Australian plans start at a fraction of what Xero's cheapest unlimited-invoicing plan costs.
