Frequently Asked Questions
What is a multi-currency invoice?
A multi-currency invoice displays amounts in both the client’s preferred currency and Australian dollars. This makes it easier for international clients to understand payment amounts while helping Australian businesses maintain accurate financial records.
Can Australian sole traders invoice clients in foreign currencies?
Yes. Australian sole traders can invoice international clients in currencies such as USD, GBP, EUR, or others. Recording the equivalent Australian dollar value helps with accounting, tax reporting, and financial management.
Do I need to show the exchange rate on a multi-currency invoice?
Including the exchange rate is a good practice because it provides transparency and helps explain how the Australian dollar value was calculated. It can also assist with record-keeping and financial reporting requirements.
Are services provided to overseas clients subject to GST?
Many services supplied to clients located outside Australia may qualify as GST-free exports. However, GST treatment depends on the specific service and circumstances, so it is important to confirm the correct treatment for your business.
Why should I use a professional multi-currency invoice template?
A professional template helps ensure invoices contain the necessary business information, present currency conversions clearly, and create a more professional experience for international clients, which can help reduce payment delays.
