Common mistakes

Include the taxable supply information that applies, plus bank account and local address details used for payment. New Zealand’s current terminology and record rules should be checked with Inland Revenue.

Verify country-specific requirements

This starter provides editable fields, not a compliance decision. Registration status, transaction type, amount, buyer, and current rules can change what information is required.

Inland Revenue: taxable supply information for GST

Use current taxable-supply terminology carefully

New Zealand replaced the formal tax-invoice requirement with taxable supply information in 2023. An invoice can still carry that information, but the records required depend on the transaction and GST status, so confirm the current Inland Revenue guidance.

Keep seller, transaction, and GST details together

Add the seller identity, date, description, amount, and GST information that applies to the supply. Include buyer details and other references when the transaction or client workflow requires them.

Separate payment instructions from tax records

Bank account and payment reference fields help the customer pay, but they do not replace taxable supply information. Verify GST treatment and keep supporting records outside the invoice when needed.
