What is a Recipient Created Tax Invoice (RCTI)?
An RCTI is a tax invoice that is issued by the purchaser of the goods and/or services rather than the seller. RCTIs can only be issued by a purchaser if:
- The purchaser and the seller are both registered for GST.
- The sales for which the purchaser can issue an RCTI are agreed to in writing by the purchaser and the seller either in a separate written agreement specifying the sales to which each agreement relates or embedding this information or specific terms, as outlined in the legislative instrument, in the tax invoices they issue.
- The agreement is current and effective when the RCTI is issued.
- The goods or services being sold under the agreement are of the type that the Australian Taxation Office have determined can be invoiced using RCTIs.

- Open your RCTI invoice and click on Print as per the below screenshot:
