The Apoio Pulse – Issue 30

Today, we'd like to take a moment to address the critical importance of getting your invoices just right - not only to ensure ATO compliance but also to stay in NDIS's good graces.

The Importance of Support Dates: Ah, the eternal tango of support dates! These little numbers are more than just dates; they're the key to deciphering when the actual support was delivered. They play a vital role in ensuring you can claim within plans accurately. Remember, though, that support dates have their own groove and may differ from the invoice date. So, let's keep our steps synchronized! Make sure that you include those support dates! 

The Mysterious World of GST: Like discovering a hidden treasure map, understanding your GST requirements as an NDIS Provider can be an adventure. Most NDIS supports don't carry the GST tag, but we understand that navigating these waters can be tricky. Our advice? Consult your friendly neighbourhood accountant – they're the Gandalf's of the financial realm, guiding you to the tax-free lands of the NDIS. 

The Price is Right...ly Important!: Imagine your invoice as a menu in a restaurant – your unit price is the price tag on that delicious dish. Most NDIS pricing comes with limits, and having the unit price clearly stated on the invoice is like displaying the price tag on a designer handbag. It shows your compliance with NDIS rates, ensuring everyone gets a fair slice of the funding pie. 

Remember, we're here to help! If you need further guidance or have questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us or consult your trusty accountant. Let's conquer the world of NDIS supports with invoices that are both ATO and NDIS compliant. 

Invoicing may sound like a comedy of errors at times, but with the right knowledge and a touch of reminding, we can all master this art form. 

Stay invoicing savvy and keep those smiles as wide as your balance sheets!
