Short answer
What must a tax invoice include?
For a taxable sale under $1,000, an Australian tax invoice has to show seven things. If the total price is $1,000 or more, it also has to show the buyer's identity or ABN.
- The document is intended to be a tax invoice.
- The seller's identity.
- The seller's ABN.
- The date the invoice was issued.
- A brief description of what was sold, including the quantity (if it applies) and the price.
- The GST amount, or the words "Total price includes GST" when the GST is exactly one-eleventh of the price.
- Whether each sale on the invoice is taxable.
Still needed for a tax invoice
- Add the seller's name.
- Add a description, quantity and price for what was sold.
- Add the seller's 11-digit ABN. It needs to pass the ABN check.
How the GST on this invoice is worked out
Taxable lines use Australia's GST rate of 10%. On a price that excludes GST, the GST is 10% of that price. On a price that already includes GST, the GST is one-eleventh of the price.
The generator adds up the taxable lines, calculates the GST once, and rounds to the nearest cent. Half a cent rounds up. That is the total-invoice rounding approach on the ATO tax invoices page. GST-free lines are listed on their own and are not included in the GST.
Worked examples: $100 excluding GST has $10 GST and a total of $110. $110 including GST contains $10 GST. A $100 taxable line plus a $20 GST-free line has $10 GST and a total of $130. A single taxable line of $10.05 has $1.01 GST, because 100.5 cents rounds up. Two taxable lines of $10.05 are added first ($20.10) and the GST is $2.01.

FAQs
What must a tax invoice include?
For a taxable sale under $1,000, show that the document is a tax invoice, the seller's identity and ABN, the date it was issued, a description of what was sold (including the quantity, if it applies, and the price), the GST amount or the words 'Total price includes GST' when the GST is exactly one-eleventh of the price, and whether each sale is taxable. If the total price is $1,000 or more, also show the buyer's identity or ABN.
When does the buyer's name or ABN have to appear?
When the total price is $1,000 or more. Under $1,000, the ATO tax invoice rules do not require the buyer's identity or ABN. This generator warns you when the total crosses $1,000 and those details are missing.
When will the document say Tax invoice?
When you mark the seller as registered for GST. A tax invoice is issued by a GST-registered seller. If you turn that off, the document is labelled Invoice and GST is not added.
How is the 10% GST worked out?
Australia's GST rate is 10%, which is one-eleventh of a GST-inclusive price. On $100 excluding GST, GST is $10 and the total is $110. On $110 including GST, GST is $10. This generator totals the taxable lines, calculates GST once, and rounds to the nearest cent, with half a cent rounded up. GST-free lines are shown separately and have no GST.
