Quick answer
Can I put a trading name on my Australian invoice?
Use the business or trading name that accurately identifies the supplier and include the supplier's ABN when relevant. If the trading name alone could make the legal supplier unclear, also show the individual or entity name connected to that ABN. The example structure should never substitute a fictional name or ABN for the real supplier.

Questions people ask before making this invoice
These are practical questions that show up around ABN, GST, phone invoicing, and small-job invoice records.
