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:
  1. the total amount of tax charged, the consideration excluding tax and the consideration inclusive of tax, or
  2. 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.
