![]() ![]() (Nowadays, all the cool kids are sending invoices virtually – no paper required. It’s a “paper” record of what was purchased, how much of it, how much it cost, whether or not GST was charged, and when the client is due to pay. Instead, invoices are usually sent when the payment for goods/services isn’t immediate. In that instant, the transaction of goods for payment is immediate, no invoice needed (although you might opt for a receipt). It’s only used in cases where payment isn’t immediate – for example, you wouldn’t expect an invoice every time you buy a McSpicy. Very simply, an invoice is a bill sent to a customer upon the purchase of goods or services. So with all this in mind, how do you create clear, professional, compliant invoices that get you paid? Don’t worry – here’s everything you need to know in order to create, send, and follow up on the perfect invoice. If you don’t, your clients may struggle to claim back GST on your goods and services. You want to extend the good impression created by your high-quality goods/services, not let yourself down with a shoddy, unprofessional followup.Īs well as looking good, your invoice should be a summary of the agreed terms of your service, with no surprises or hidden fees – you and your client need to be on the same page (literally).Īnd if you and your client are GST registered, you’ll also need to make sure your invoices are compliant with the ATO’s “tax invoice” rules. For starters, an invoice isn’t just an invoice it’s an extension of the relationship you’ve been building with your client. There’s a real art to invoicing, and mastering it will help your brand, your business, and your bank account. If you’re a sole trader who invoices their client, you (hopefully) know that invoices are more than a few scribbled details on a scrap piece of paper.
