New Zealand Tax Invoice Template

To make your invoice legally compliant it must show certain information. This template, designed by InvoicingTemplate.com, meets the requirements by New Zealand Inland Revenue and is capable of tax (GST) calculation.

According to New Zealand Inland Revenue, for a tax invoice to be valid it must have:

• the words "tax invoice" in a prominent place
• the name and registration number of the supplier
• the name and address of the recipient
• the date the tax invoice is being issued
• a description of the good and services supplied
• the quantity or volume of the goods and services supplied and either:
• the total amount of tax charged, the consideration excluding tax and the consideration inclusive of tax, or
• the consideration for the supply and a statement that includes the tax charge.

GST, stands for Goods and Services Tax, is a value added tax, implemented in Canada, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, New Zealand and Singapore etc. Goods and services tax (GST) is a tax on most goods and services in New Zealand, most imported goods, and certain imported services. GST is added to the price of taxable goods and services at a rate of 15%. GST in New Zealand is designed to be a broad based system with few exemptions. Exceptions that do exist include rents collected on residential rental properties, donations, precious metals and financial services. End-users pay this tax on all liable goods and services directly, in that the purchase price of goods and services includes GST. GST-registered organizations and individuals pay GST only on the difference between GST-liable sales and GST-liable supplies (i.e., they pay GST on the difference between what they sell and what they buy: income less expenditure). This is accomplished by reconciling GST received (through sales) and GST paid (through purchases) at regular periods (typically every two months, with some qualifying companies opting for one-month or six-month periods), then either paying the difference to the Inland Revenue (IRD) if the GST collected on sales is higher or receiving a refund from IRD if the GST paid on purchases is higher.

You can add cells to expand the print area as needed, and you can clear the print area to print the entire worksheet again.

Moving a cell or a group of cells is easy in Excel. First, you click to select the cell or drag your mouse to select all the cells you want to move. And then, drag the border of the selected area to move it to the new location where you want to place the cell or cells. The moving content will overwrite the content in the target location, so make sure the target range is empty (not used) in New Zealand Tax Invoice Template before doing the movement. And, if the target location contains merged cells, sometimes the movement fails. So it is also helpful to make sure the target location does not contain merged cell. If the target location New Zealand Tax Invoice Template is overlapping the original range and the original range contains merged cells, the movement could also fail because you cannot change part of merged cell - if this happens, you need to first move the cells to a temporal location in New Zealand Tax Invoice Template that are empty (i.e. not used), unmerge cells, and then move the cells from the temporal location to the desired location. If you need to unmerge a cell, first select it and then click the "Merge and Center" command on the Format toolbar in Excel 2003; or click the "Merge and Center" command on the Home ribbon tab in Excel 2007, 2010 and Excel 2013.
