In Australia, businesses must give consumers a receipt for anything over $75 (excluding GST), and must provide one on request for smaller amounts. A proper receipt identifies your business (name and ABN), the date, what was supplied, and the amount — this generator covers all of it, plus a payment method line that helps both sides reconcile their records later.
If you're GST-registered and the sale is $82.50 or more (GST-inclusive), the buyer needs a tax invoice to claim GST credits — showing your ABN and the GST amount, both of which this receipt includes when you tick the GST option. Keep a copy of every receipt you issue; sequential numbering (R-0001, R-0002…) makes tax time dramatically easier.
What's the difference between a receipt and an invoice?
An invoice requests payment — it's issued before money changes hands. A receipt confirms payment has been received. This tool generates receipts with a PAID stamp; for invoices, see our Premium Invoice Generator.
Does this receipt count as a tax invoice?
It can, if you tick GST and include your ABN — the receipt then shows the supplier identity, date, description, and GST amount that a tax invoice for sales under $1,000 requires. For sales of $1,000 or more, the buyer's identity or ABN must also appear, which you can add in the Received from field.
Am I legally required to give receipts?
Yes — Australian Consumer Law requires businesses to provide proof of purchase for transactions over $75 excluding GST, and on request below that. It also simply builds trust with customers.
How should I number my receipts?
Sequentially and without gaps — R-0001, R-0002, and so on. Consistent numbering creates a clean audit trail and makes reconciling your bank account against sales far faster.
Is the customer's information private?
Completely. The receipt is built in your browser on your device — no data is transmitted or stored anywhere. Save the PDF for your own records before closing the page.
