What is a tax invoice receipt?

The USU follows the ATO's definition of a tax invoice receipt, which can be found at this page.

For the purpose of Clubs claiming spending against grants received from the USU for the acquittal process, Clubs must provide tax invoices.

Tax invoices generally contain the following:

• name, address, contact of supplier
• an invoice number
• date of issue of the invoice.
• name (and sometimes address) of the buyer
• the quantity, and description of goods/services
• the price per unit, and tax charged per item
• total amount including taxes
• payment detail (e.g. was it by card, or bank transfer)
• Tax Identification Number
  • in the case of an Australian company, this is an ABN*
  • If the company is outside of Australia, it may have a VAT, etc.
  • *: If a supplier does not have an ABN, you should ask them to complete a statement by supplier form. You can find more information about statement by supplier forms and the template on the ATO website.
• The ATO’s definition of a tax invoice receipt can be found on the ATO’s website.

Rules and regulations for using + claiming USU grant funding, as well as recommendations on receipts + record-keeping can be found in the 2026 Finance Handbook.
