Invoice Requirements for Australia (Cross-Border)

Australia levies 10% GST with prescriptive ATO tax-invoice rules (the words "tax invoice", the ABN, GST shown separately) but no e-invoicing mandate; Peppol PINT A-NZ is voluntary and used for B2G.

E-invoicing: Not mandatory GST 10% Complexity: Low

Australia applies GST at 10% with no e-invoicing mandate. A compliant tax invoice must, per the ATO, show the words "tax invoice", the seller's identity and ABN, the issue date, a description of the items with quantity and price, and the GST amount (shown separately or noted as GST-inclusive). For sales over A$1,000 the buyer's identity or ABN must also appear. Electronic invoicing uses the Peppol PINT A-NZ format and is voluntary for B2B, though federal agencies have adopted it for B2G. Keep records for 5 years.
