What is GST?

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a broad-based tax of 10 percent on the supply of most goods and services in Australia. It is a self-assessment tax and must be reported each month or quarter on your Business Activity Statements (BAS).

You are required to register for Goods and Services Tax if:

Your business has a GST turnover of $75,000 or more ($150k + for non profit)
You provide a taxi service as part of your business, regardless of GST Turnover.

Goods and Services Tax has numerous combinations of circumstances that determine which transactions are subject to GST or classified as a GST exempt service

It’s usually a good idea to register for GST when your business has not yet reached the GST threshold but it is likely to do so soon. When you do hit the GST threshold, you need to register within 21 days. Our team can help to advise you on benefits of registering GST early.
