Electrical Invoicing FAQ — Newcastle

Do electrical businesses in Newcastle 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. Newcastle clients expect compliant tax invoices for business expense claims.

Are there NSW-specific invoicing rules for electrical work?

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

How should I invoice subcontractors I hire on a job?

Subcontractor costs belong on your internal job costing, not usually on the client invoice unless agreed as a pass-through. Client invoices should reflect your contract scope and margin structure.

When is a quote legally binding vs an invoice?

A quote is an offer; an invoice is a payment request for work performed or due under contract. Always reference the accepted quote number on the invoice to reduce disputes.

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.
