A GST tax invoice in Australia needs the seller details, ABN, invoice date, description of what was supplied, GST treatment and total amount. Tyre shops also need invoices that match the job, vehicle, payment and stock record. TyreShop Software raises GST tax invoices with your ABN and exports invoice data to CSV for your bookkeeper.

ATO guidance requires enough information to identify the seller and ABN, issue date, what was supplied, quantity where applicable, price, taxable treatment and GST amount. It must be clear that the document is intended as a tax invoice. For a total of A$1,000 or more, the buyer's identity or ABN must also be ascertainable. Check the ATO sources below for the full requirements and ask your bookkeeper about your circumstances.
The ATO says a requested tax invoice must generally be provided within 28 days, except for sales of A$82.50 or less including GST. A workshop can still provide clear invoices for smaller jobs. Confirm your GST registration and the tax treatment of your sales before setting up a template. This guide is general information and does not replace advice about your business.
A job number, registration and vehicle description help the team find the visit later. They support the workshop record but do not replace the tax-invoice fields. Before sending the invoice, compare the line items with the completed job card. Record the tyres or parts supplied and the work charged for in terms the customer understands. Keep additional recommendations separate from work that was approved and completed.
An invoice total and an amount still owing are different things. Record deposits or later payments against the invoice so the balance is clear. If a customer queries a charge, use the linked job record to explain the work and check whether a correction is required. Ask your bookkeeper how to handle credits, refunds and unusual tax treatments rather than overwriting records to make a balance disappear.
Agree which records and date range your bookkeeper needs, then check a sample export together. TyreShop Software supports CSV exports for customers, invoices, products, payments and work orders. A CSV export is a file handover, not a live accounting sync or BAS lodgement. Confirm column mapping, tax codes and reconciliation in the accounting system with the person maintaining your books.
Set up your business details, prepare a sample job and inspect the resulting invoice on screen and in print. Verify the business identity, tax details, line descriptions, totals and payment instructions. Check the customer record when buyer identification is required. Revisit the template when your business details or tax circumstances change, and refer to the current ATO guidance for requirements beyond this workshop overview.
