Under Australian Taxation Office (ATO) guidelines, managing advance payments and client packages manually in spreadsheets is highly risky. Recording GST liabilities and tracking remaining client balances manually often leads to BAS reporting errors.
Zenbooks customer wallets simplify upfront billing for Australian businesses. Load the client's balance in AUD ($). When they return, create the invoice and pay it using the wallet balance—calculating 10% GST and generating a compliant tax invoice automatically.
