How Australian small business paperwork works
Three rules decide which template you need. If you are setting up a business in Australia, read these first.
10% GST, registration at $75,000
You must register for GST once your GST turnover reaches $75,000, or $150,000 for non-profits. Once registered, you add 10% GST to taxable sales, and when a customer asks for a tax invoice on a sale over $82.50 including GST, you must issue one within 28 days. Sales of $1,000 or more also need the buyer's identity or ABN on the invoice.

Templates for this
No ABN on the invoice, no full payment
If a supplier doesn't quote an ABN, the business paying them may have to withhold 47% of the payment and send it to the ATO. Putting your ABN on every invoice, even below the GST threshold, keeps you paid in full.

Accounts Payable Template
Dates are for quarterly lodgers who lodge themselves. Monthly BAS is due on the 21st of the following month, and registered tax and BAS agents can often lodge later. When a date falls on a weekend or public holiday, you can lodge and pay on the next business day.
Why Enerpize
What makes Enerpize Australian templates different
Most template sites give you one blank file. Here is what you get instead.
Blank and filled versions
Every template comes with a worked example next to the blank, so you can see what goes in each field before you start.
GST that calculates
The Excel versions work out 10% GST, BAS labels and payslip totals with live formulas, so one change updates everything.
Built on ATO labels
BAS, tax invoice and payslip templates use the same labels and fields the ATO and Fair Work use, so nothing gets lost in translation.
No email wall
Downloads are ungated. You only create an account if you want to send invoices online.

FAQ
Australian templates: frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what Australian business owners ask us most.
What must an Australian tax invoice include?
The words "tax invoice", your identity and ABN, the date, a description of what you sold, the GST amount (or a statement that the total includes GST) and how much of the sale is taxable. Invoices of $1,000 or more also need the buyer's identity or ABN. The Australian GST invoice template has all of these fields.
Do I need to charge GST?
Only if you are registered. Registration is required once your GST turnover reaches $75,000 ($150,000 for non-profits), and is optional below that. If you are not registered, use the invoice template without GST.
Can I invoice without an ABN?
You can, but the business paying you may have to withhold 47% of the payment and send it to the ATO. Quote your ABN on every invoice to be paid in full.
How often do I need to lodge a BAS?
Most small businesses lodge quarterly. Businesses with GST turnover of $20 million or more lodge monthly, and some voluntary registrants can report GST annually. See the BAS statement example for a completed quarter.
What does Payday Super change on my payslips?
From 1 July 2026, super is paid each payday instead of quarterly, and it must reach the employee's fund within 7 business days. Payslips should show the super amount for that pay period.
Are these Australian templates free?
Yes. Every template downloads free in Word, Excel or PDF, with no account and no email required. For US sales tax invoices and 1099 forms, see the US templates hub.
Templates for other countries
Disclaimer: These templates and explanations are general information, not tax, legal or accounting advice. ATO and Fair Work rules change, so check ato.gov.au, fairwork.gov.au or a registered tax or BAS agent before you lodge.
