Architecture Invoicing FAQ — Sydney

What should be included in a architecture invoice in Sydney?

A architecture invoice for Sydney clients must include your ABN, business name and address, client details, unique invoice number and date, itemized services, GST (10%) shown separately if registered, payment terms (Net 30 days), and total due in AUD.

What are typical payment terms for architecture work in Sydney?

Architecture businesses in Sydney commonly use Net 30 days. Average job value in this sector is around $5000. State payment terms clearly and follow up at 7 and 14 days overdue.

Do architecture businesses in Sydney need to charge GST?

If your annual turnover exceeds $75,000 (or you registered voluntarily), you must charge 10% GST, use the words "Tax Invoice", and show GST as a separate line. Sydney clients expect compliant tax invoices for business expense claims.

Are there NSW-specific invoicing rules for architecture work?

NSW Fair Trading requires clear contracts for home building work over $5,000. Invoices should align with contract progress payments.

Do I need a separate invoice for each job or can I combine multiple jobs?

Best practice is one invoice per completed job or agreed milestone. Combining unrelated jobs on one invoice makes GST reporting and payment tracking harder for both you and your client.

Should I invoice before or after materials are delivered?

For custom or high-value materials, invoice a deposit before ordering. For standard stock, many businesses invoice on completion with materials itemized on the final invoice.

Australian tax invoice requirements

A valid Australian tax invoice must show the words “Tax Invoice”, your business name and ABN, the date of issue, a description of the goods or services, the GST amount (or a statement that the total includes GST), and the total price. For sales over $1,000 you must also include the buyer’s identity or ABN.

Register for GST once your turnover reaches $75,000 per year — see ATO: Registering for GST.
Without an ABN, the payer must withhold 47% of the payment under PAYG rules (ATO: PAYG withholding). Apply for a free ABN at abr.gov.au.
