An Australian invoice needs enough detail for the buyer to recognize the sale, approve the charge, and keep records for GST. For a GST-registered supplier, that usually means a document clearly labeled as a tax invoice, with seller identity, ABN, issue date, supply details, quantity, price, and GST treatment.
The template is useful for service work, project billing, consulting, and repeat client invoices where the same business details appear every time. It also keeps the payment due date visible, since Australia does not set one national B2B payment term. The contract or invoice terms usually define the due date.
Australia uses Goods and Services Tax, or GST, on taxable supplies. GST is 10% of the value of the taxable supply and is normally one-eleventh of a GST-inclusive price. A GST-registered supplier generally needs to show either the GST amount payable or state that the total price includes GST when that one-eleventh rule applies.
The ABN is the supplier tax-registration identifier on an Australian tax invoice. It is an 11-digit Australian Business Number issued through the Australian Business Register. If the invoice total is A$1,000 or more, add the buyer's identity or buyer's ABN as well. That threshold is easy to miss on larger project invoices.
A taxable sale over A$82.50 including GST triggers a practical recordkeeping rule: a GST-registered supplier must provide a tax invoice within 28 days if the customer requests one. Keeping the template complete from the start avoids rebuilding the document later when a client asks for a proper tax invoice.
Foreign-currency invoices need extra care. If the invoice is issued in another currency, it must show the GST payable in Australian currency or include enough information to work out the GST amount in Australian currency. Peppol eInvoicing is available in Australia, but ordinary businesses do not face a general national B2B Peppol mandate.
A free template works well for a one-off invoice, a new client, or a simple fixed-fee job. It gives you a finished document and a consistent place for ABN, GST, buyer details, payment terms, and line items. It does not create a record of the time or expenses behind the invoice.
A managed workflow matters once billable time drives the invoice. Everhour supports billable and non-billable time through project billing status, task-level non-billable controls, custom task rates, member-rate exceptions, and admin reports that separate billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost.

GST belongs on the invoice when the supplier is registered for GST and the sale is taxable. A business generally must register for GST once GST turnover reaches A$75,000, while non-profit organizations use A$150,000. Taxi, limousine, and ride-sourcing providers must register regardless of turnover.
A valid Australian tax invoice must identify itself as a tax invoice and show the seller's identity, ABN, issue date, description of the sale, quantity, price, GST amount payable, and the taxable extent of each sale. For totals of A$1,000 or more, it must also show the buyer's identity or buyer's ABN.
Yes. A foreign-currency tax invoice must still handle GST in Australian terms. The invoice must show the GST payable in Australian currency or provide enough information for the buyer to calculate the GST amount in Australian currency.
Australia uses the Peppol framework for eInvoicing, but ordinary businesses do not have a general national requirement to issue B2B invoices through Peppol. A client, industry arrangement, or government procurement process can still require a specific electronic invoicing method.
Use the due date or payment period agreed in the contract or invoice terms. Australia does not impose one national B2B invoice payment term for ordinary commercial invoices. A clear due date reduces disputes because the buyer sees exactly when payment is expected.
Everhour lets admins set project billing status, mark specific tasks as non-billable, apply custom task rates, and set member-rate exceptions. Reports can show billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost, so invoice totals stay tied to the work that should actually be charged.
Track chargeable work before it reaches the invoice. Everhour keeps billable and non-billable time separated, so client billing reflects approved work and cleaner project totals.
