I work as a contractor for a company who pays super. They contract me for a rate for my services and then require me to deduct 10% from this rate on my invoice which they then pay into my super fund.


They require me to invoice the full rate by line item of work, include a subtotal of the full rate, apply a total 10% discount to this rate (written on the invoice so their accounting team know how much super to pay) and then also add the GST as a seperate line before the total.


My new invoicing system cannot perform this request. It can include a subtotal less the discount (noted in brackets) and add GST. Can the company deny payment of my invoice for this reason?

Hi @Curious79


Your question is more of a legal question that is beyond the scope of this forum.


The answer is probably No, they can’t deny the invoice.


However, as you are a contractor the company is your client.


You could try to push back but that will probably cost you the client.


An excel template invoice setup to their requirements would probably do the job
