Invoicing requirements in New Zealand

GST (15%)

New Zealand GST is 15%. You must register for GST when your turnover exceeds NZ$60,000 in a 12-month period (or is expected to). Once registered, charge 15% GST on taxable supplies and keep taxable supply information for every sale.

What your invoice must show

Include your business name and, if GST-registered, your GST number on invoices. Your IRD number is used with Inland Revenue; many businesses also display an NZBN (New Zealand Business Number), which is free to get.

Record keeping

Inland Revenue requires business records, including invoices, to be kept for at least 7 years. Digital records are acceptable. Since April 2023, formal "tax invoice" rules were replaced by taxable supply information requirements — the practical fields on a good invoice are unchanged.

Full requirements: see Inland Revenue's GST guidance.

New Zealand invoicing FAQs

Is this invoice generator free for NZ businesses?

Yes — create a professional New Zealand invoice in your browser, preview it live, and download the PDF free. No signup, no credit card, no watermark. The Pro plan ($12/month) adds saved clients, recurring invoices and email sending.

How do I add 15% GST to an invoice in NZ?

Toggle GST on and the generator calculates 15% automatically on taxable line items, showing the GST amount and GST-inclusive total clearly. Not GST-registered? Leave the toggle off and the invoice shows no GST line.

What needs to be on a New Zealand invoice?

Your business name and contact details, the date, a description of the goods or services, quantities and prices, and the total. If you are GST-registered, include your GST number and show the GST amount (or state it is included). Since April 2023 this is called taxable supply information rather than a formal tax invoice.

Do I need to register for GST in New Zealand?

Registration is compulsory once your turnover exceeds NZ$60,000 in any 12-month period. Below that you can register voluntarily to claim GST on business purchases — useful if your costs are high, but it adds GST return filing.

Can I invoice Australian or overseas clients with this?

Yes. Change the currency (NZD, AUD, USD and more) and the invoice adjusts. Exports of goods and many services to overseas clients are zero-rated for GST — you still show the invoice clearly, with GST at 0% where that applies.
