What to put on a electrician invoice
Common lines on an electrician's invoice include:
- Labour — hours on site × rate
- Materials (cabling, switches, fittings, switchboard components)
- Certificate of Electrical Safety / compliance certificate
- Call-out fee
- After-hours or emergency loading
- Travel
Plus the essentials every Australian invoice needs: your business name and ABN, the client's details, a unique invoice number and dates, the total (with 10% GST if you're registered), and your payment details. See how to write an invoice and the tax invoice requirements.
A tip for electricians
List any compliance or safety certificate as its own line — clients (and their insurers) often need to see it itemised. If you sub-contract to builders, quote your ABN on every invoice so they aren't forced to withhold 47% of your pay.
GST and your ABN
You must register for GST once your turnover hits $75,000 a year — then you charge 10% GST and issue a Tax Invoice. Under that, GST is optional and you issue a plain invoice. Either way, always quote your ABN. More: the $75,000 GST threshold and do I need an ABN to invoice.
