When and why to issue a credit note in Australia

Unlike an invoice, many small businesses are unsure when they must issue a credit note. In Australia, you typically need one when you reduce the price of a taxable sale after issuing a tax invoice, when goods are returned, when you overcharged a customer, or when you cancel part of an order. If you are registered for GST, your credit note should show the credited amount and any GST adjustment so your records match ATO requirements. See the ATO guidance on tax invoices and adjustments for how credit notes fit into your GST reporting.
