I am a small business owner and planning to buy goods from Alibaba and sell them in Australia. I am only buying small batches (<AUD1000). On the tax invoice, which details do I need from the seller to claim the business expenses?
Hi @MannieB
The record should prove that your business paid for the expense and that it relates to your business. The invoice should be made out to your business, have date of purchase, amount paid and received and a description of the items. If you're purchasing overseas then you'll likely have a payment trail too which can be used.
