Fortunately not. Everything can be "Tax Invoice" even if you don't collect GST.

It contains more customisations than just having Tax Invoice. The tax can be specifically named GST etc. Using a saved report means that the changes are preserved through updates of Gnucash.

Putting my old senior business analyst hat back on for a moment, this is presumably NOT what is being requested. I am pretty sure if we ask (business analysts ask, do not tell the client what the client wants) we will find out that the request for is a SELECTION ox, so only specific invoices would be so titled. But the real point I am trying to make is that at any time a jurisdiction can impose requirements, even things like font and font size, etc. And what one jurisdiction requires independent of what the next requires. THAT is why things like this best handled with editing outside of gnucash. We should ask of the gnucash developers that the CONTENT not be lacking for any jurisdiction, not the editing details.

Re: [GNC] Change Printed Invoice
Thanks John. I don't know why I didn't see the Custom Title options. I must have been through the configuration about 5 times. I guess I was blinkered and just looking for the word "Invoice".

Re: [GNC] Change Printed Invoice (Alan Hopkins)
Hi, Although not specifically a GNC issue, to extend a little on what Alan wrote with regards to Australian invoice requirements, the type of invoice you issue (i.e. 'invoice' versus 'tax invoice') depends on your GST status. If you have registered for GST (your business needs to have an annual GST turnover of $75,000), then your invoices need to specify 'Tax Invoice', but if you are not registered, you should really only have 'Invoice' on your invoices otherwise the recipient will be looking for how much GST you collected on behalf of the government at the end of your invoice and it isn't legally correct. You can read more at the following link on government requirements regarding invoices: https://business.gov.au/finance/payments-and-invoicing/how-to-invoice. Incidentally, the minimum amount for a tax invoice needing to be issued according to this prior link is $82.50 (including GST), but most businesses just have the wording on everything when they are registered for GST since it is in their software as default wording. And yes as mentioned earlier, it is easy to change the 'Invoice' wording in the settings without having to do it each time in a PDF editor. Additionally, since I also reside in Australia and am not registered for GST, as discussed my invoices only state 'Invoice' to comply with regulations. But after hitting 'Print Invoice', I also click on 'Options' in top toolbar, and under 'Display Columns' tab, I untick the boxes next to 'Taxable' and 'Tax Amount' to make absolutely clear that no GST has been charged to avoid any confusion on the end of the recipient so they know I haven't just accidentally forgotten to charge GST or something along those lines.

Re: [GNC] Change Printed Invoice
Editing the code is unnecessary. After clicking the Print button you'll get an invoice report tab with the invoice. Open report options and enter Tax Invoice in the Custom Title field of the General tab, then click Apply or OK.

Re: [GNC] Change Printed Invoice
I'm not familiar w/ Australian laws but if it requires it to say just "Invoice" if it's under 1,000, maybe the best solution is to set it for which you send out more (over or under 1000) so you are manually editing less for the other.

This is precisely why the lawyer/accountant on the board of one of the organizations for which I was treasurer told me NOT to do that sort of editing within gnucash. But instead to do exactly what you are doing. Edit it afterwards when the full power of a general purpose editor was available << even though in MY case as a retired IT pro, something I could have done -- gnucash is open source >> THINK about it. You want the ability to do this editing WITHIN gnucash. Doesn't seem like a big deal, and for THIS particular example, not a big deal. But consider ALL the possible differences that this or that jurisdiction might require for any and all outputs going to that jurisdiction. In other words, what would really be needed would be the ability to edit just about everything from within gnucash. And that would be a big deal, and a waste of time as excellent full power editors already exist.
