Tax invoices for sole traders, sent in minutes

Pick a customer, add the items and send a PDF tax invoice with the details the ATO lists. See who has paid and who is overdue.

Short answer
A tax invoice for a sale of A$1,000 or more must show the buyer's identity or ABN, and it must say the total includes GST or show the GST amount. If you are not registered for GST you issue a plain invoice with no GST shown.

What it does not do

No receipts, card payments or BAS

We do not issue payment receipts, take card payments for you or lodge your BAS. Recording a payment marks the invoice; it does not move money. Kestly gives estimates and general information, not tax advice. Source: ATO, tax invoices, checked 28 October 2026.
