Frequently asked questions
Do I need to show GST separately on a New Zealand invoice?
Yes. The GST amount must be shown separately from the net amount, along with the rate applied and your registration number if you are registered.
What currency should a New Zealand invoice use?
Invoices are normally issued in NZD (NZ$). Cross-border invoices may use another currency, but state it explicitly and show the exchange basis if tax is involved.
Is this New Zealand invoice format legally compliant?
The generator includes the fields most tax authorities require — sequential numbering, registration numbers, rate and amount shown separately. It is a template, not tax advice; confirm specifics with your accountant.
