Can you Change ‘invoice’ to read ‘tax invoice’

Hi, 

I need to change ‘invoice’ to read ‘tax invoice’ to enable a government Finance department to pay department invoices. Forwarding the link is not acceptable, the original invoice has to read ‘tax invoice’  In accordance with the ATO tax invoice guidelines.  
Could anyone advise?

Hey @DAW,

 

Thanks for reaching out!

 

Receipts should say "Tax Invoice" automatically if the ABN that you used to create the account is registered for tax/GST collection. If it's instead reading "Invoice" it would generally indicate that the ABN isn't registered to collect GST.

 

Are you able to confirm the tax/GST status of the ABN in question? If it is registered for GST I'd advise getting in touch with our support team for further assistance with this! You call support on 1800 760 137 (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm Melbourne time) or email via this form.

Hi Seamus,

It is not the Receipt that is in question it is the initial ‘invoice’. They will not pay as it does not read ‘tax invoice’

Hey @DAW,

 

 

At the moment the words "Tax Invoice" will only appear on the Tax Invoice / receipt that is issued once a payment has been made, and only if your ABN is registered for tax.

 

If you'd like to add custom messaging to invoices then you'd need to do this via the "Message" field:

 

 

Though note that this emailed invoice is not an official "tax invoice" - a tax invoice can only be sent once the invoice is paid, provided your ABN is registered for tax.

That's right, @JPCHillside. Once the invoice has been paid, you can send them a tax invoice via Transactions in your Dashboard. Select the payment in question > Send Receipt. This receipt will state Tax Invoice in the bottom if you've provided an ABN when signing up.
