One of our vendors (registered for GST) initially issued an invoice with an item marked GST-free, then later provided a separate invoice for the GST component only. Would this second invoice qualify as an acceptable GST adjustment note under ATO requirements? The second document is titled “Tax Invoice” and includes the following details:


  • Vendor details:
    • Name: XXX
    • Address: XXX
    • ABN: XXX
  • Invoice specifics:
    • Invoice Date: XXX
    • Invoice Number: XXX
    • Reference: “GST amount owed on inv XXX”
  • Line item:
    • Description: “Xctivation: GST amount owed on inv XXX”
    • Quantity: 1
    • Unit Price: $500.00
    • GST column: “No GST” (highlighted in yellow)
    • Amount AUD: $500.00
  • Total:
    • Subtotal: $500.00
    • Total AUD: $500.00

Hi @EliHU,

 

The second invoice you've described wouldn't qualify as an acceptable GST adjustment note under ATO requirements.

 

For a valid adjustment note, the supplier must include specific information. The document must clearly show it's intended as an adjustment note and the effect of the adjustment.

 

Our GST experts have provided a detailed answer previously about adjustment notes if you'd like to check it out.

 

If the supplier doesn't provide a corrected invoice, you can request permission to treat a document as a valid tax invoice
