Understanding your invoice

  • Invoice Summary

    Your invoice shows a breakdown of all charges for the current bill in date order, grouped by site and service. There is a subtotal for each service on a site, concluding with the total amount due.

    1. Customer Number – use this in any correspondences or payment reference.

    2. Invoice Number – use this in any correspondences or payment reference.

    3. Due Date – payment is required by this date.

    4. Amount Due – this is the total amount due including GST on this invoice. It is not your outstanding balance.

    5. Invoice Period – this is the billing period. Occasionally we may charge for services in previous periods if they were not invoiced in previous months.
