Goods and Services Tax Ruling GSTR 2000/17 sets out the minimum information requirements for a tax invoice under subsection 29-70(1) of the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999. GSTR 2000/17 also refers to circumstances in which you do not need to hold a tax invoice to claim an input tax credit.
Amendments of the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax Transition) Act 1999 by the Tax Laws Amendment (Long-term Non-reviewable Contracts) Act 2005 introduced an additional circumstance in which there is an entitlement to an input tax credit without holding a tax invoice. This Addendum amends GSTR 2000/17 to reflect this change.
This Addendum applies from 22 February 2005. You can rely on the amendments to GSTR 2000/17, as amended by this Addendum, for the purposes of section 37 of the Taxation Administration Act 1953 from the date of issue of the Addendum.
GSTR 2000/17 is amended as follows:
Omit the paragraph and substitute the following paragraph:
10. Generally, you must hold a tax invoice to claim an input tax credit for a creditable acquisition in your Business Activity Statement (BAS). [2] However, you do not need a tax invoice if:
- •
- the value of the taxable supply is $50 or less;[2A]
- •
- you are claiming an input tax credit for a creditable importation ;[3]
- •
- the GST on the taxable supply is payable by the recipient because of section 15C of the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax Transition) Act 1999[3A] (GST Transition Act); or
- •
- a determination by the Commissioner under subsection 29-10(3) applies to your circumstances.

Footnotes
Your GST return forms part of your BAS.
Subsection 29-80(1).
The attribution rule in section 29-15 for input tax credits for creditable importations does not require a tax invoice.
Division 2 of Part 3 of the GST Transition Act applies to agreements spanning both 1 July 2000 and 1 July 2005. In the circumstances described in section 15C of that Act, the GST on a taxable supply made under such an agreement is payable by the recipient (to the extent the supply is made on or after a certain date occurring on or after 1 July 2005). Subsection 15H(3) of that Act provides that subsection 29-10(3) of the GST Act does not apply, so that the recipient may claim an input tax credit without holding a tax invoice.
