Electrician invoice NZ

What goes on an electrician invoice.

Whether you're using an electrician invoice template NZ-wide or building one from scratch, here's what a valid electrical invoice needs to include.

What to include

A proper electrician invoice — whether it's a one-off job or a full electrical contracting invoice — should always show your labour, materials, and the paperwork IRD expects to see.

Labour (hours × rate)
Materials & parts used
Call-out / travel fee
GST number & GST breakdown
Job description & site address
Invoice number & date

GST requirements for electrical contractors

If you're GST-registered (required once you cross $60,000 in a year), every electrical invoice must show your GST number, the GST rate charged (15%), and the total both GST-exclusive and GST-inclusive. TradieNotes calculates and itemises this automatically — including the option to issue non-GST invoices if you're not yet registered.

Common electrician invoice line items

Most sparkies bill a mix of the same few line items on every electrical invoice — TradieNotes' AI recognises each of these from your notes or voice recording.

Hourly labour rate
Parts & materials (cable, RCBOs, fittings)
Travel / call-out charge
After-hours or emergency rate
Sparkie FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can it handle after-hours and call-out rates?
Yes. Just note the call-out fee or after-hours rate in your scribble or speak it aloud — the AI will extract it as a separate labour line item.
Do I need to note my EWRB licence number?
Not required, but if you write it in your notes it will appear on the invoice. Useful for commercial and insurance jobs.
What if I do gasfitting as well?
TradieNotes works for any trade. Gas items, fittings, and compliance notes all extract the same way.
Are the invoices GST and IRD compliant?
Yes — every invoice includes your GST number, business name, itemised labour and materials, and meets NZ IRD requirements.
Do I need to sign up?
No account needed. Create one free to save your invoice history, or just snap and pay $1.
