How to create a tax invoice in Australia
If you are a GST-registered sole trader in Australia, customers often need a tax invoice, not just a casual payment request. Exact rules come from the ATO. This guide is product help, not tax advice.
Why this matters: many business customers need a proper tax invoice for their own GST records. A bank transfer note or informal quote usually is not enough.
What FrogsWork puts on the PDF
In your business profile, add your ABN and turn on GST registered when that applies. Line items can include GST. When GST applies, the PDF is labelled Tax Invoice. For how GST fields map in the product, see GST invoicing for Australian sole traders.
- Business name and contact details from your profile
- Customer details from your customer list
- Invoice number, date, and due date
- Line items and totals (including GST when registered)
- Optional bank details under how to pay
Steps in the app
- Open FrogsWork Invoicing and confirm your business profile (ABN and GST registered if that applies).
- Create a sales invoice for the customer.
- Review the PDF, then download or email it to the customer from the app.
Where people usually run into trouble
- Sending a quote when the customer asked for a tax invoice
- Leaving GST registered off when you should be charging GST (or the reverse)
- Forgetting your ABN on the business profile so it never appears on the PDF
