Questions people ask before making this invoice

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

What does my customer do with my ABN on the invoice?

The ABN identifies the business behind the invoice and helps the customer keep a clearer payment record. ABN Invoice places it with your seller details so it is easy to find.

Does using an ABN automatically mean I charge GST?

No. ABN and GST are separate settings in the invoice workflow. Use GST settings only when they apply to your business and the work being invoiced.
