Free invoicing software for Australian sole traders

The Starter plan is free for good: 5 invoices a month, unlimited quotes, your ABN on every invoice and a GST-ready layout, with no credit card and no trial clock. If you need unlimited invoices or reminders on every invoice, the paid plans above add them. For the other free options and where each one caps out, read the 3 best free invoicing software options in Australia.

Why the ABN on the invoice is not optional

If you supply more than A$75 (excluding GST) of goods or services to a business and do not quote an ABN, the payer is generally required to withhold 47% of the payment and send it to the ATO. That is the difference between getting paid in full and getting paid 53 cents in the dollar. See the full ABN invoicing guide for the withholding rules, or the tax invoice requirements guide for the full ATO checklist.

What kind of tool do you need?

Invoicing first

Quotes, GST-ready invoices and payment status, with tax handled separately.

Full accounting

Choose accounting software if bank reconciliation, payroll or BAS lodgement belongs in the same system.

Managed tax

Choose an accounting service if you want someone else to manage your tax obligations.

Australian invoicing software questions

Is Invio free to start?
Yes. The free plan includes 5 invoices a month and unlimited quotes.
Does Invio lodge BAS?
No. Invio does not lodge a BAS or work out your BAS boxes. Reports shows the GST you collected for each BAS quarter, with your GST-free sales listed separately, to help you or your adviser fill in the return. Lodgement is yours.
What happens when I need more volume?
Pro is A$19/month and includes unlimited invoices. Every plan includes voice invoicing (3 drafts a month on Starter, 10 on Pro). Growth is A$59/month and lifts that to 100 a month, plus Projects Pro for job budgets and profit by job. Care from A$79/month adds Shift log, Roster, Worker app on the phone, Progress notes and incidents, Worker checks, SCHADS award hours, Claims pack, Service agreements, Xero sync and Projects Pro.
Can I put my ABN and GST on a free invoice?
Yes. Your ABN sits on every invoice regardless of plan, and if you are GST-registered, Invio calculates 10% GST correctly and titles the document a tax invoice.
Does the free plan take a cut of what I get paid?
Not on bank transfers - those carry no fee at all. A card payment carries Stripe's processing fee (1.65% + A$0.30 for domestic cards) plus Invio's 0.5% platform fee, on every plan, and both come out of your payment. Card surcharges are not allowed in Australia, so your client pays exactly the invoice amount.
