What a cleaner invoice should show
Regular clients pay faster when every invoice lists the visit dates it covers. One-off and end-of-lease cleans need a room-by-room list, which agents and landlords often ask for.
Line-item wording you can borrow
Specific descriptions get paid faster than "labour and materials". Examples for cleaners:
- Fortnightly clean, 3 bed / 2 bath: visits 3 Oct and 17 Oct
- End-of-lease clean: all rooms, oven, rangehood, windows inside
- Carpet steam clean: 3 bedrooms and hallway
- Inside windows and tracks, whole house
- Office clean: 5 visits (weekdays 6-10 Oct)
- Fridge clean-out (add-on)
- Balcony and outdoor furniture wash
- Cleaning products supplied
If you're registered for GST, a tax invoice for a sale under $1,000 must show: that it's a tax invoice, your identity and ABN, the issue date, a description with quantity and price, the GST (or "Total price includes GST" if GST is exactly 1/11 of the total) and how much of each sale is taxable. From $1,000, add the buyer's identity or ABN. The template covers all of these.
Tips for cleaners
- For regular clients, put the visit dates covered on each invoice (e.g. "Visits 3 and 17 October").
- For end-of-lease cleans, list the rooms and extras done; agents often ask for it.
- Quote the invoice number as the bank transfer reference to make matching easy.
- Give every invoice a unique number (generator) and send it the day the job finishes.
Questions
I'm not registered for GST. What goes on my invoice?
Your business name and ABN, the date, what you did and the price, and ideally a line saying no GST has been charged. Call it an "Invoice".
When do I have to register?
When your GST turnover reaches A$75,000 in the current and previous 11 months, or is likely to in the next 12 months. Then you have 21 days.
If the invoice isn't paid
Use a polite, consistent schedule: a heads-up 3 days before the due date, a reminder on the day, then +7, +14 and +30 days. The free reminder email generator writes them, and the late payment interest calculator works out interest if your terms allow it.
