Owner driver invoice Australia: tax invoices that get paid

What has to be on an owner driver invoice in Australia

Searching for an owner driver invoice Australia checklist? If you’re GST-registered, customers expect a proper tax invoice: your business name, ABN, the word “tax invoice”, what you hauled (or a clear job ref), the date, and GST shown separately.

Add your BSB and account number on every invoice. Drivers lose days chasing “what’s your bank details?” emails.

• Your ABN and business name
• Customer name (and their ABN if you have it)
• Job ref / route / dates
• Subtotal, GST 10%, total AUD
• Due date and bank details

When to bill

Bill as soon as the job is delivered, not when you “get around to it” on Sunday. Waiting a week is how 30-day terms become 45.

One invoice per customer is fine; bundle delivered jobs for the same client so you’re not spamming accounts with five PDFs.

Chasing late payers

Friendly first, firm second. A short reminder with the invoice number, amount, and due date works better than a novel.

Keep a list of what’s overdue. If the same customer is always late, tighten terms or ask for a deposit on the next booking.
