Create free GST invoices for New Zealand businesses

From Auckland consultants to Christchurch tradies, Kiwi businesses rely on clear tax invoices so clients can claim input tax credits and IRD records stay straight.

This free invoice generator NZ defaults to NZD and 15% GST — the standard rate for most taxable supplies. Turn GST off if you are not registered or your supplies are exempt.

Many New Zealand clients pay by bank transfer, so leave room for your account name, bank, branch, and account number in the payment section.

New Zealand tax invoice basics

GST-registered businesses should issue a tax invoice that includes the words tax invoice, your name and GST registration number, the date, a description of goods or services, and the GST amount or a statement that the price includes GST.

You must register for GST when turnover exceeds $60,000 in any 12-month period. Below that threshold you may remain unregistered and issue standard invoices without GST lines.

Keep copies of tax invoices for at least seven years. PDF downloads from this tool can sit alongside your Xero, MYOB, or spreadsheet records for IRD audits.

Common NZ billing scenarios

Contractors invoicing builders or project managers after milestone work. Freelancers billing marketing or IT clients in Wellington and Auckland. Home-based businesses selling services to other GST-registered companies that need a valid tax invoice.

Seasonal operators who only send a handful of invoices a year and do not want monthly software fees.

Designed for Kiwi payment habits

Bank and branch fields reflect how New Zealanders reference accounts for same-day transfers. GST at 15% recalculates as you edit line items.

Works in mobile browsers so you can invoice from a van or site office. No account signup — your progress stays on your device.

Need a price estimate first? Use our quote tool, then raise the final tax invoice when the job is signed off.

From quote to tax invoice

Send a quote while scope is still being agreed, then convert figures into a GST tax invoice when work is delivered. Use a credit note if you credit part of an earlier sale.

Working with Australian or UK clients too? Pick the matching generator under Invoice by country in the footer.

New Zealand invoice FAQ

How do Kiwi freelancers use this NZ invoice generator day to day?

Add your trading name and IRD or GST number, list services in NZD, apply 15% GST if registered, and email the PDF to your client's accounts team. Most local clients pay within 20 days when bank details are visible.

When must I register for GST with Inland Revenue?

Registration is required when your turnover exceeds $60,000 in any 12-month period. You can register voluntarily below that level to claim input tax credits on business purchases.

What makes a valid tax invoice for IRD purposes?

It must clearly be a tax invoice, show supplier identity and GST number, date, description of supply, and GST amount or inclusive wording. Registered recipients need this to claim GST credits.

Should I put NZ bank account details on every invoice?

Yes for most domestic clients — bank transfer is the norm. Include account name, bank, branch, and account number so payment is not delayed by follow-up emails.

Can I invoice without a GST number as a new sole trader?

If you are not GST registered, issue a standard invoice without GST lines and do not show a GST number. Register once you approach or exceed the $60,000 threshold.

How do I handle mixed taxable and exempt supplies on one bill?

Split line items in the form — apply GST only to taxable lines and leave exempt lines at zero tax. Add a note if the client needs clarification; complex cases should be reviewed with your accountant.

What payment terms are typical on New Zealand invoices?

Many businesses use 14-day or 20-day terms. State the due date clearly on the invoice; the Late Payment of Debts regime may apply to commercial debts if payment is overdue.
