Frequently Asked Questions

How should a salon owner invoice a chair renter?

Issue a tax invoice to the chair renter specifying the rental period, weekly or monthly rate, and any included amenities (product use, towels, utilities). The renter should provide their own ABN and insurance.

What pay rates apply to hairdressing employees?

The Hair and Beauty Industry Award 2020 sets minimum pay rates based on classification level. Penalties apply for evenings (after 7 pm), Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. Check the Fair Work pay calculator for current rates.

Does a hairdresser need to charge GST on services?

Yes. Hairdressing is a taxable supply. If your salon turnover exceeds $75,000 you must register for GST and include it on all invoices and receipts. Product retail sales are also subject to GST.

Is a receipt the same as a tax invoice?

No. A receipt confirms payment was received. A tax invoice requests payment and is required for GST credit claims. A document can serve as both if it meets all tax invoice requirements.
