Good Invoicing Is Good For Your Business

When you’re running a small business or working for yourself as a contractor, getting paid relies on sending your invoice. And because getting paid, and on time, is essential to staying afloat, it’s important to make sure that you’ve got all the important information included. Setting up your invoices correctly will ensure you get paid quicker. Here’s what you need to cover.

If a customer asks you for a tax invoice, provide one within 28 days. Your invoice needs to contain the following:

  1. The words ‘tax invoice’, ideally as a heading.
  2. Your business or trading name.
  3. Your contact details- these aren’t technically required for invoices for under $1000, but it’s a good idea to include them in case the recipient needs to get in touch.
  4. Your ABN or ACN.
  5. The date you’re issuing the invoice.
  6. An itemised list of what you’re invoicing for, including the price for each item or service. Make sure that you clearly indicate whether GST is included in the total price.

If you are using accounting software simply fill in the templates or you can see some examples of invoices on the ATO website.

A well set out invoice will make it easier for your clients and customers to pay you. Accounting software will make the job easier by providing the format for your business and increasing your efficiency. Talk to us about your invoicing to ensure you make it easy for people to pay you.
