How to Make Tax Invoice

Making a tax invoice in Australia means producing a document that meets all ATO requirements so the buyer can claim a GST input tax credit. Only GST-registered businesses can issue tax invoices.

To make a tax invoice: 1. Open a tax invoice template or InvoiceSonic 2. Label the document "Tax Invoice" prominently at the top 3. Add your business name and ABN 4. Generate a unique sequential invoice number and add today's date 5. Enter the buyer's name (and ABN if the sale is $1,000 or more) 6. List each line item with description, quantity, GST-exclusive price, and total 7. Calculate the subtotal and 10% GST 8. Show GST separately, or write "Total price includes GST" 9. Show the total amount payable 10. Set payment terms — typically Net 14 — and due date 11. Add bank, BPAY, or PayID details 12. Save as PDF and send to the buyer

Issue the tax invoice within 28 days of a buyer's request. Keep a copy for at least five years for ATO records. InvoiceSonic calculates GST automatically and includes every required field by default.
