RCTI Template: Free Recipient Created Tax Invoice Template

Looking for an RCTI template? Rather than downloading a static template that you need to fill in manually, our free RCTI generator creates a fully compliant Recipient Created Tax Invoice with automatic GST calculation and all ATO-required statements — ready to download as PDF.

What Should an RCTI Template Include?

Whether you download a Word doc or use an online generator, every RCTI template must satisfy the same ATO requirements.

A compliant RCTI template must have all the elements required by the ATO. Here's the structure:

Header: "Recipient Created Tax Invoice" — clearly labelled
RCTI Number & Date
Recipient (Buyer):
  • Business Name
  • ABN
  • Address
Supplier (Seller):
  • Business Name
  • ABN
  • Address
Line Items: Description, Qty, Unit Price (ex GST), GST, Total (inc GST)
Totals: Subtotal, GST, Grand Total
Compliance Statements:
  • "The GST shown is payable by the supplier"
  • "The supplier will not issue a tax invoice for this supply"
  • 21-day objection period notice

The ATO's own RCTI template (NAT 73657) is a static PDF that explicitly states it "will not calculate totals for you". Our RCTI template generator solves this.

Your RCTI Template Needs an Agreement

No RCTI template is complete without a valid written agreement is in place between both parties. If you haven't set one up yet, use our Agreement Generator first.
