What a valid Australian tax invoice must show
For a taxable sale of more than $82.50 including GST, the ATO requires a tax invoice to include these details. This generator includes all of them.
| Requirement | Applies to |
|---|---|
| The words “Tax invoice” | All tax invoices |
| Your identity (business name) | All tax invoices |
| Your ABN | All tax invoices |
| The date the invoice was issued | All tax invoices |
| A brief description of each item, with quantity and price | All tax invoices |
| The GST amount, or a statement that the total price includes GST | All tax invoices |
| The buyer's identity or ABN | Sales of $1,000 or more |
If you are not registered for GST, switch the GST toggle off. The heading changes to a plain “Invoice”, because only businesses registered for GST should issue a tax invoice.
Do you need to charge GST?
You must register for and charge GST once your business reaches a GST turnover of $75,000 or more ($150,000 for non-profits), or if you drive taxis or rideshare. Below that threshold it is optional. If you are not registered, do not add GST and issue a regular invoice instead. Our GST basics and the BAS lodgement page explain how GST flows through to your activity statement.

What makes a valid tax invoice in Australia?
