What the IRD requires on a tax invoice

For GST-registered businesses in New Zealand, a valid tax invoice must include the words 'Tax Invoice', your name and GST registration number, the date, a description of the goods or services, the quantity, the total amount charged, and the GST amount. For invoices over $200, you also need the recipient's name and address.

GST registration in New Zealand

You must register for GST if your turnover exceeds NZD $60,000 in any 12-month period. Once registered, you charge 15% GST on your services. You can file GST returns two-monthly or six-monthly depending on your turnover. Most tradies file two-monthly.
