What is a tax invoice receipt?

Tax invoices should have the following things:

• Be labelled clearly as a “Tax Invoice”
• Name, address and contact details of the seller
• Invoice Number
• Date of issue of the invoice.
• Name and Address of the buyer
• Tax Identification Number (in the case of an Australian company, this is an ABN*)
  • *: If the company is outside of Australia, it should still have some form of Tax Identification Number, such as a VAT. 
  • If the seller does not have an ABN, you should ask them to complete a statement by supplier form. You can find out more on the ATO website.
  • If you receive an order confirmation, but not a tax invoice from a seller, you should request one.
• The quantity, and description of goods/services
• The price per unit
• Total amount including taxes
• Tax charged for each item
• Payment details
