A deposit invoice must meet ATO tax invoice requirements: your ABN, your
business name, the date, a description of the service, the price and the GST
amount. This template includes all required fields.
FAQ :
Is a deposit invoice the same as a tax invoice?
Yes, as long as it includes all ATO-required fields – ABN, business name, date,
description, price, and GST amount (or a statement that GST is included). This
template covers all of them.
Do I need to charge GST on a deposit?
If you are registered for GST, yes – GST applies to the deposit amount in the
same proportion as the full invoice. This template calculates it correctly.
Can I edit the deposit percentage?
Yes. The Custom Amount version lets you enter any deposit figure. The 50%
version is pre-set but fully editable in Word.
