Valid tax invoices and GST credits

What if a document does not contain all of the required information?

If a document issued by a supplier does not contain all of the required information, you may treat that document as a valid tax invoice if the missing information can be clearly identified from other documents provided by the supplier.

Terms such as 'total price includes GST' or similar wording are not sufficient for invoices for both taxable sales and either a GST-free or input taxed sales.
