Quick answer

Do I need to put my ABN on my invoice?

Australian tax invoices must show the supplier's identity and ABN. For business-to-business supplies, quoting an ABN on the invoice or another document related to the supply also helps the payer apply the no-ABN withholding rules correctly. If no ABN is quoted, exceptions and a Statement by a supplier may apply; do not invent an ABN or treat an invoice maker as eligibility advice.

Questions people ask before making this invoice

These are practical questions that show up around ABN, GST, phone invoicing, and small-job invoice records.

Can I invoice someone without an ABN?

Does ABN Invoice verify my ABN?

It provides a structured field and links to ABN Lookup, but the user must enter the correct identifier.

Should I put my TFN on the invoice instead?

No. A TFN is sensitive and is not a substitute for an ABN on a business invoice.
