Invoicing in Australia
In Australia the general indirect tax is GST, charged at a standard rate of 10%, with invoices issued in AUD. DocsOrigin applies that rate, the local document names and the local numbering conventions from the moment you set the business country to Australia.
Invoicing in Australia is free forever with DocsOrigin: every document type, every export, no card and no trial.

How reliable is this figure
Graded high: this rate has been checked against a tax-authority or official source. It is still your responsibility to confirm it before you rely on it.
Last checked against a source: 2026-08.
Whatever the grade, your own setting always wins — a rate you enter overrides the registry everywhere, including on documents already dated in the past.

Tax identifier
On a document issued in Australia the identifier is labelled ABN. It is printed in the header of every tax document, isolated left-to-right so it reads correctly in any interface language.
Expected format
^\d{11}$
DocsOrigin checks this identifier's structure as you type — a wrong number on an issued document cannot be corrected by editing it.
Numbering
Documents in Australia are expected to run in an unbroken sequence. DocsOrigin allocates the number at the moment of issue — never earlier — so a draft that is abandoned does not burn a number and leave a gap you have to explain.
Prefix, padding and yearly reset are configurable per document type, and the series is kept separately for each type.
How Australia writes dates and money
Set the country and these stop being settings you have to think about. The examples below are rendered by the same formatter the documents use.

- Amount

- Currency
- AUD
- Minor units
- 2
AUD is written with 2 decimal places, and every amount is stored as a whole number of minor units. ⛔ Money never touches floating point.
A worked example in Australia
Three lines, priced identically everywhere, run through the real tax engine with the Australia registry entry applied. This is what the document looks like there.

Invoicing in Australia — questions
What tax rate do I charge in Australia?
The standard GST rate recorded for Australia is 10%. Reduced rates may apply to particular supplies, and your own setting always overrides ours.
Which document do I issue to a customer in Australia?
The document set recognised in Australia is listed above, under the names used locally. For a paid sale the usual document is Mva-faktura, and a mistake on an issued document is corrected with a credit note rather than an edit.
Does DocsOrigin cost anything in Australia?
No. DocsOrigin is free forever for businesses in Australia as everywhere else: no subscription, no card, no trial, no per-document fee and no export fee. Optional professional services are the only thing that is ever charged for, and they are quoted per project.
What if the rate for Australia is wrong or changes?
Set your own rate in the business settings and it overrides the registry immediately, for new documents and for any date. Rates are applied by document date, so an old document keeps the rate that applied when it was issued.
Also billing in AUD
The currency is shared, but the tax, the document names and the numbering rules are not. Each of these has its own entry.
Issue your first Australia document
Choose Australia once. The tax, the document names, the numbering, the date order and the currency format are configured together, and it costs nothing.
