Tips

FAQs

Do carpenters need to charge GST?

Only if your turnover is above $75,000 per year. If you are GST-registered, the template includes a 10% GST line and the required "Tax Invoice" wording.

How should I bill for materials vs. labour?

Separate them as distinct line items. Some carpenters mark up materials 10-20% to cover sourcing time. Most clients appreciate the transparency of seeing the breakdown.

Can I use this template for cabinet making?

Yes — adjust the line items to reflect your service. Cabinet makers often use per-job pricing rather than hourly labour.

What about progress payments for larger jobs?

For jobs over $5,000, issue a deposit invoice up front, progress invoices at milestones, and a final invoice on completion. Mark each clearly so clients know what they're paying for.
