GST in New Zealand is a flat 15% on most goods and services. You must register once your turnover passes NZD 60,000 in any 12-month period. Since April 2023, the old tax-invoice rules were replaced by "taxable supply information": the details a GST-registered seller must provide, which scale with the value of the sale. Existing compliant invoices still work; the requirements just change at NZD 200 and NZD 1,000. Billbooks includes the right information on every invoice.
Inland Revenue sets the taxable supply information a GST-registered seller must provide, in tiers by amount. Billbooks includes the right fields automatically.
