Questions

Does GST go inside or outside the price on an Australian quote?

Inside. Australian GST is 10% and is shown as inside the price — the line total already includes GST, and the quote breaks out how much of it is tax rather than adding tax on top.

What's the difference between a quote and a tax invoice in Australia?

A quote is a proposed price before work is agreed. A tax invoice is a specific legal document issued after a taxable sale, with its own requirements. Quote Engine generates quotes — it does not produce tax invoices, so there is nothing here that substitutes for one.

Can I add my ABN automatically?

Yes. ABN is the seller identifier for Australian quotes and is shown in the header of every quote once set in your business profile — you never type it per quote.

What date and number format does an Australian quote use?

Dates are Gregorian, formatted DD/MM/YYYY. Numbers use standard western grouping (e.g. 1,234,567.89).
