- Business name, ABN, and contact details
- Client name and project reference
- Invoice number, issue date, and work period
- Milestone, variation, or service scope line items
- GST treatment and total due
- Payment due date and remittance details
Scope references reduce payment friction
The invoice should reference the project stage, agreed deliverable, or approved variation. That prevents the client from having to cross-check the amount manually against emails or a separate statement of work.
Common contractor invoice mistakes
- No project or milestone reference
- Unclear GST treatment
- Missing purchase order or client billing reference
- No due date or bank details
