What sole traders should always include

  • Trading name or personal name used in business
  • ABN
  • Invoice number and issue date
  • Client details
  • Services or goods supplied
  • Whether GST is included, excluded, or not charged
  • Total due and payment due date

GST wording matters

If you are registered for GST, show GST clearly. If you are not registered, do not add GST and do not imply that it applies. This is one of the easiest errors for sole traders using copied templates.

Common sole trader invoice mistakes

  • No ABN on the invoice
  • Unclear payment due date
  • Mixing GST-inclusive and GST-exclusive line items without explanation
  • Reusing the same invoice number
  • No bank details or payment instructions
