Tips for Designers
- Define the number of revision rounds in your quote — unlimited revisions erode your effective hourly rate.
- Include IP transfer terms in your service agreement — clients often assume they own the work outright.
- Send a proforma invoice for the deposit before commencing work; issue the tax invoice on completion.
- Break projects into phases (discovery, concept, development, delivery) with separate billing milestones.
Compliance Notes
- ABN is required on all tax invoices.
- GST registration is mandatory at $75,000 turnover.
- Copyright and IP assignment should be addressed in a written agreement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns the design — the designer or the client?
Under Australian copyright law, the creator owns the copyright unless there is a written agreement assigning it. Always specify IP ownership in your service agreement to avoid disputes.
How should a designer quote — fixed price or hourly?
Fixed-price quotes work well for clearly scoped projects (e.g., a logo design). Hourly billing suits open-ended or evolving work. Many designers use a hybrid: fixed scope with hourly charges for out-of-scope work.
Should designers charge GST on digital files?
Yes. Digital design deliverables are taxable supplies in Australia. If you are GST-registered, charge 10% GST on all domestic work. Exports may qualify as GST-free if certain conditions are met.
