What is the difference between a cash memo and an invoice?

A cash memo is for a sale paid immediately in cash, with nothing pending. An invoice, especially a GST tax invoice, is a more formal document that can be on credit and carries GST details.

Is there a fixed cash memo format?

There is a standard layout: business header, memo number and date, item table, and total. A free cash memo tool gives you this format ready to fill in.

Do I need GST on a cash memo?

A simple cash memo does not need GST. If you are GST registered and the sale is taxable, use a GST bill or invoice so the tax shows correctly.
