Is this invoice generator legal to use in New Zealand?+
Yes. Inland Revenue (IRD) requires GST-registered businesses to issue tax invoices meeting specific requirements. KipBill produces compliant PDFs when you include your GST number, invoice number, and the "Tax Invoice" heading.
What GST rate should I use on my invoices?+
New Zealand's standard GST rate is 15%, flat across most goods and services. Zero-rated: exports, land sales between GST-registered parties, duty-free goods. Exempt: financial services, residential rent, penalty interest. No reduced rates.
Do I need to register for GST before issuing invoices in New Zealand?+
GST registration is mandatory once turnover reaches NZ$60,000 in any 12-month period. Below threshold, registration is voluntary. Once registered, you charge GST on all taxable supplies from your effective registration date.
What information must every invoice include in New Zealand?+
IRD tax invoice requires: "Tax Invoice" heading, supplier name and GST number, invoice number, issue date, description of supply, GST amount (or indication that GST is included), and total. Full details required for invoices over NZ$1,000.
Can I issue invoices in a currency other than NZD?+
Yes. New Zealand businesses can invoice in any currency. For GST purposes, amounts must be convertible to NZD using a consistent method — typically the RBNZ mid-market rate on the supply date.
How long do I have to keep invoice records in New Zealand?+
IRD requires business records including tax invoices to be retained for at least 7 years from the end of the tax year. Electronic storage is permitted if records can be produced in readable form.
