Should I quote prices including GST?

For consumers, usually yes — that is the convention. Set the tax to "Already included" and the document shows the GST portion without inflating the total.

What if I am not GST registered?

Then issue an ordinary invoice with no GST and no GST number, and do not use the words "tax invoice". Remove the tax section and change the heading to Invoice.

Can I use this for Australian clients too?

Yes — switch the region to Australia and the labels, currency and heading change to match. Your business details and clients carry over.

About this document

If you are GST registered in New Zealand, a taxable supply calls for a tax invoice showing your GST number and the GST charged. This page opens headed "Tax invoice" with GST labelled at 15% and the business-ID field asking for a GST number.

New Zealand prices are commonly quoted GST-inclusive. Choose "Already included" and the GST is extracted from the total and shown separately, rather than added on top — which is what your customer expects to see.

What a New Zealand tax invoice needs

The words "Tax invoice"
Your name and GST registration number
The date of issue
A description of the goods or services
The quantity or volume supplied
The amount charged and the GST, or a statement that GST is included
The recipient's details for larger supplies

This is general information, not tax or legal advice. Requirements differ by jurisdiction and by the kind of work you do — check with your own accountant or tax authority if anything is unclear.
