Are you claiming the correct amount of GST?

Are you claiming the correct amount of GST for your #sportingclub #notforprofit or #smallbusiness?

You can claim GST credits for most business purchases. However, there are some things that are GST-free or that you can’t claim for various reasons.

Here are a few things to watch out for:

➡️ If your suppliers aren’t registered for GST, you can’t claim GST credits (this applies even if your supplier gives you a tax invoice with an ABN and GST amount on it)
➡️ You can use the ABN Lookup online tool to check if your suppliers are registered for GST
➡️ Things such as basic foods, some medical goods or services and other items are GST-free
➡️ Check your tax invoices and only claim the amount of GST shown
➡️ If you use an item for both personal and business use, you can only claim the business portion
➡️ There is no GST on wages you pay to staff

As part of your record keeping, remember to keep your tax invoices.
