How to fill in an invoice template
- Replace the placeholders with your business name, ABN and contact details. Add your licence number if your trade has one.
- Give every invoice a unique number (INV-0001, INV-0002…) and the date you issue it.
- Add your customer's name and, if it's a business, their ABN.
- List each item with a quantity and price. In the Excel template, amounts, GST and the total add up for you.
- Add your payment details and due date, save as PDF and send.

Questions
Which invoice template should I use?
If you're registered for GST, use the tax invoice template. If you're not, use the no-GST template, which is titled “Invoice” and doesn't add GST.
Do these templates work in Google Docs or Google Sheets?
Yes. Upload the Word file to Google Drive and open it with Google Docs, or the Excel file with Google Sheets. The Excel formulas keep working.
Are the templates free to use for my business?
Yes, free to download, edit and use for your own invoices.
Is a template enough to meet the ATO's rules?
The template has a place for everything the ATO lists, but what makes an invoice valid is what you fill in: your ABN, a clear description, the GST and, for tax invoices of $1,000 or more, the buyer's name or ABN.
