Quick answer
How should an Australian tax invoice be formatted?
A clear Australian tax invoice format identifies the document as a tax invoice, shows the supplier identity and ABN, issue date, sale description, price and GST information, and includes the buyer identity or ABN when the total price is at least A$1,000. A practical layout then adds invoice number, due date and payment instructions so the customer can approve and pay it.
