GST and invoicing in Australia

If you're a freelancer in Australia with a turnover above $75,000 AUD, you are required to register for GST and charge 10% on your services. Even below this threshold, many freelancers register voluntarily for a professional appearance and tax benefits.

A compliant Australian tax invoice must include: your ABN, the word "Tax Invoice" at the top, the date, the buyer's identity, a description of the services, the GST amount (or a statement that GST is included), and the total amount payable.

For invoices over $1,000, you must also include the buyer's ABN or their name and address. Always issue invoices promptly — late invoices lead to late payments.
