Invoices & QuotesFree

Free tax invoice generator — ABN and GST handled

Unlimited invoices, quotes and receipts, with GST worked out per line — including the lines that are GST-free. Your business details and customers are saved once, so the second invoice takes a minute. It covers what a tax invoice template needs: ABN, GST line, buyer details and a real due date.

How it works

  1. 1

    Set up your business once

    Name, business number, address, logo and payment details. You are not typing these again.

  2. 2

    Pick or add the customer

    Customers are saved, so repeat work starts from a name rather than a blank form.

  3. 3

    Add the lines

    Quantities, prices, discounts and delivery. GST is calculated per line, so a GST-free item stays GST-free instead of quietly being taxed.

  4. 4

    Send it or save it

    Download it as a PDF, or export to a spreadsheet when you need the numbers rather than the document.

Questions

What does the ATO require on a tax invoice?
For a sale under $1,000: that the document is intended to be a tax invoice, your identity, your ABN, the date issued, a description of what was sold with quantity and price, the GST amount or a statement that the total includes GST, and the extent to which each line includes GST. At $1,000 or more, the buyer's identity or ABN is required too. The builder carries every one of those fields.
Can I put my ABN on the invoice?
Yes — it is part of the business profile you set up once, so it appears on every invoice and quote without retyping. Leaving the ABN off can force a business customer to withhold tax from your payment, so it is the field worth checking first.
What if I am not registered for GST?
Then the document is an "Invoice", not a "Tax invoice", and it must not show a GST amount. Leave GST off the lines and the total, and still show your ABN.
Is it really free?
It is free on every plan, including the free account — not a trial. You need an account so your work saves, and that is all.
Is there a limit on how many I can make?
No. Unlimited invoices, quotes and receipts on the free plan.
Does it handle GST-free items?
Yes. GST is worked out line by line, so a GST-free line stays GST-free and the totals are right.
Does this work as a tax invoice template?
Yes. The builder includes the fields expected on a tax invoice: your business name, ABN, date, line description, quantity and price, and the GST amount or a statement that the total includes GST. It also adds the buyer's details once the invoice reaches $1,000.
How does the GST calculation work?
GST is 10%. Prices can be entered GST-exclusive or GST-inclusive; the total, subtotal and GST line are worked out per line. If you enter GST-inclusive prices, the GST inside the total is the total divided by 11, not 10% off the total.
Is this accounting software?
No, and it is not pretending to be. It makes the document and does the arithmetic. Bookkeeping, BAS and reconciliation are somebody else's job.
