The Garage Invoice is a critical business document used in New Zealand's automotive repair and maintenance industry to record and bill for services performed on vehicles. It must comply with New Zealand's consumer protection laws, tax regulations, and fair trading requirements. This document is typically issued upon completion of vehicle repairs or maintenance services, providing itemized details of labor, parts, and associated costs, including GST calculations. The Garage Invoice serves multiple purposes: it acts as a formal request for payment, provides warranty documentation, maintains service records, and may be used for insurance claims or tax purposes. It should include all necessary business identification details, vehicle information, and service descriptions as required by New Zealand legislation.
