Question 6 - Do I Have To Include GST On My Invoices?

You only need to register for GST with the Australian TaxationOffice (ATO) if your annual turnover/revenue exceeds $75,000 per annum (or $150,000 per annum for non-profit organisations). Once you are registered for GST, by law you must add 10% GST to all of your tax invoices that you issue to customers.
