Hi Jaydana1
If no ABN is provided, in some instances you are generally required by law to deduct something like 46% - check with your accountant or the tax office. See here from the ATO website for example. Penalties may apply if you fail to deduct - it is like paying wages to an employee who does not provide a TFN.

Hi Gavin,
Thank you for your response. This is however a sales invoice I am raising not a purchase. The other non-ABN Company will be paying us, we aren't paying him. If we were paying him, then yes, I would have to withhold as you mention which I have done before also too.

Hi Jaydana1
Sorry I missed the Sales Invoice part. There is no provision in MYOB for an ACN as this is not required to be reported.
As long as you don't tick 'Use Customer's Tax Code' (on Selling details tab), you can use N-T or GST etc on the Card - this will be ignored anyway. The Sales invoice will then use the Tax Code you have set for the Sales account being used (generally GST).
If you do tick 'Use Customer's Tax Code' (on Selling details tab) you should GST as leibholdqpbc suggested to ensure MYOB applies GST.
So the Customer will see a GST Component on the invoice as is normal, whether they are registered for GST or not.
