New Zealand GST Tax Invoice

IRD expects tax invoices above certain thresholds to show seller identity, GST number, date, description, and GST amount. This editor targets those fields with NZ currency formatting and optional buyer details when the supply exceeds $1,000.00 and the buyer is not GST-registered.

GST-inclusive pricing uses the 3/23 extraction method in automatic mode so a $115.00 inclusive line shows $15.00 GST and $100.00 net without mental arithmetic.

A Wellington designer invoices $2,400.00 plus GST at 15%, totalling $2,760.00. Two line items split design and print management; each row shows quantity, unit price, and line GST. If the customer is overseas and the supply is zero-rated, toggle the rate column to 0% and document the reason in notes.

For a $450.00 job under the simplified invoice tier, fewer buyer fields may suffice—leave optional sections blank and the PDF omits empty blocks per layout rules.

Buyer-created tax invoices are rare in small business but supported via conditional sections when you indicate the scenario. Credit notes should reference the original invoice number—use the document meta fields consistently month to month.

We do not connect to IRD’s myIR APIs. You still file GST returns through your chosen channel.

Upload a logo for sharper headers on mobile-forward PDFs. Use payment terms that match your cash flow—7 days for residential, 20th following month for commercial if that is your norm.

Export JSON after your first customer setup; IRD audits like consistent GST numbers and legal names across quarters.

Customer pricing and GST totals are not uploaded to Doxnest during editing. That reduces risk when invoicing schools, iwi entities, or health providers with confidentiality policies.
