I paid almost $200 for a service and didn't receive an invoice for the service. Can I request one?

Hi @LeeDee,

Failing to supply a tax invoice may not be tax evasion you can request one in writing; the supplier must provide one within 28 days.

If the supplier fails to issue you with tax invoice within 28 days of being requested to do so or if they make a false statement on the tax invoice, they may be liable for penalties.

If a supplier is unwilling to provide you with a valid tax invoice, you can request permission from us to claim the GST credit by writing to GST General Technical Advice.

Email: GSTmail@ato.gov.au or Postal: Po Box 3524, ALBURY NSW 2640.

You will need to provide the following information:

• Your name, contact details and ABN

• Documents relating to the purchase

• The name, address and ABN (if known) of the supplier

• The nature, purpose and quantity of the purchase

• The amount paid or payable and the amount of GST included, and

• The steps you have taken to obtain a tax invoice.
