Quick answer
Does sending an invoice make a worker an independent contractor?
No. Fair Work says the whole relationship determines employee or contractor status; an invoice or ABN alone is not decisive. If a genuine supplier does not quote an ABN, the payer may need to withhold unless a valid exception and Statement by a supplier applies. A TFN should not be published on the invoice.

Source-grounded notes
What this page is grounded on
- OAIC guidance treats a TFN as a protected identifier and restricts its collection, use and disclosure; it should not be published on an ordinary customer invoice.
- ATO guidance says a payer may need to withhold when a supplier does not quote an ABN unless an exception and valid Statement by a supplier applies.
- Fair Work guidance says an ABN or invoice alone does not determine whether a worker is an employee or independent contractor.
