Thanks for posting, @JenMFM! This is an important question for Australian businesses.
In Australia, the words "Tax Invoice" should automatically appear on your Square receipts if your ABN is registered for GST collection. This wording is included in accordance with Australian tax regulations, which require this specific label on receipts/invoices for GST-registered businesses.
If you're not registered for GST, your receipts should not include the words "Tax Invoice" as this would be incorrect according to ATO guidelines. In this case, Square correctly omits this wording from your receipts.
Here are a few articles from the ATO's website that provide more information about your requirements:
- Tax invoices
- Setting up your business invoices
If you are GST registered but aren't seeing "Tax Invoice" on your receipts, I'd recommend checking:
1. That your ABN is successfully registered for GST with the ATO (you can use the ABN lookup tool to check your current GST status).
2. That your ABN has been added to your Square account (contact our Support team at 1800 760 137 between Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm, Melbourne time, or reach them here).
Let me know if you have any other questions!
