Australian Invoice Template (with GST)
- Currency
- AUD
- Tax
- GST
- Preset rate
- 10%
Australia keeps the rate simple: GST is a flat 10%. The catch is the paperwork. If you're registered for GST, you have to issue a compliant "tax invoice", not just any invoice. This template starts at 10% GST. Not registered for GST? Set it to 0 and send a standard invoice instead.
Bill in Australian dollars, list your services, and download a PDF that has everything the ATO expects on a tax invoice.

Frequently asked questions
- When do I need to register for GST in Australia?
- When your annual turnover reaches the registration threshold, or earlier if you choose to. Once you're registered, your ABN goes on your invoices and you charge 10% GST on taxable sales.
- What makes an Australian tax invoice valid?
- It has to show the words "tax invoice", your identity and ABN, the invoice date, a description of the items, and the GST amount. For sales over the ATO threshold, add the buyer's identity too.
