Regular invoice or tax invoice?
In Australia, a tax invoice is a specific document required when your customer wants to claim a GST credit. If you are registered for GST and the sale is $82.50 or more (including GST), you must provide a tax invoice when the customer requests one.
| Feature | Regular invoice | Tax invoice |
|---|---|---|
| The word "Tax Invoice" required | No | Yes |
| ABN required | Recommended | Yes (if supplier registered for GST) |
| GST amount shown | No | Yes |
| Required when GST > $82.50 | No | Yes |
| Client can claim GST credit | No | Yes (with valid tax invoice) |
If your invoice includes a GST payment clause, check the clause wording here.
