GST: when to include it
If your annual turnover is over $75,000 (or $150,000 for non-profits) you must register for GST and add 10% on most sales. Below the threshold, generate a regular invoice — leave Tax % at 0.

What a compliant invoice in Australia must include
- The words "Tax invoice"
- Supplier name and ABN
- Date of issue
- Brief description of goods/services
- GST amount (or "Total price includes GST")
- Buyer's identity / ABN (for invoices ≥ $1,000)
ABN — your most important field
Put your ABN in the Tax / Reg ID field of the From section. Without it, your client must withhold 47% under the No-ABN withholding rule.
BPay / PayID / direct deposit
Australian clients usually pay by direct deposit, PayID or BPay. Include your BSB and account number (and PayID email if you use it) in the Payment Details section.
Frequently asked questions
- What's the difference between an invoice and a tax invoice in Australia?
- A tax invoice includes GST and the words "Tax invoice". Only GST-registered businesses can issue them. A regular invoice has no GST.
- Do I need an ABN to issue an invoice?
- It is strongly recommended. Without an ABN your client must withhold 47% tax. Apply for an ABN free at abr.gov.au.
- Can I issue an invoice in foreign currency for an export?
- Yes — change the Currency selector to USD/EUR/etc. Exports are usually GST-free (set Tax % to 0) and you should add a note: "Export sale — GST-free under section 38-185".
