What Does a Tax Invoice Look Like?

A tax invoice looks like a standard invoice with a few extra fields required by the ATO. The most important visual marker is the words "Tax Invoice" displayed prominently at the top — usually next to or below your business name and logo.

A typical Australian tax invoice layout:

Header: Your business name, logo, ABN, and contact details
Title: "Tax Invoice" in bold
Invoice number and issue date (top right is standard)
Bill To: Client name and billing address
Line items table: Description, quantity, unit price, line total
Totals block: Subtotal, GST (10%), and Total
Payment section: Due date, bank details, BPAY, PayID
Footer: Thank you note or terms and conditions

For sales of $1,000 or more, the client's name or ABN must also appear. Most tax invoices are one page, designed to print on A4 or US Letter. They're typically sent as PDFs so the formatting stays consistent on any device. InvoiceSonic's tax invoice template follows the standard Australian layout and includes every required field.
