Invoicing Tips

  • You do not need to register for GST until turnover reaches $75,000 a year
  • Not GST-registered? Label the document "Invoice", not "Tax invoice"
  • Always show your ABN — without it the payer must withhold 47% under PAYG
  • Ask clients to use the invoice number as the payment reference
  • A PayID shows the payer your registered name before they send — a real check against invoice-interception fraud

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this invoice template really free?

Yes. Fill it in and download a PDF with no signup, no watermark and no card. Word and Excel versions are linked below if you would rather edit a file.

Does it handle GST?

Yes. Enter your amounts and the 10% GST calculates and displays as its own line, which is what the ATO requires on a tax invoice. If you are not registered for GST you can leave it off entirely.

Do I need an ABN to use it?

No, but you should include one if you have it. Without an ABN on the invoice, a business paying you is required to withhold 47% of the payment under PAYG rules.
