goods and services sold or consumed in Australia.

KEY FEATURES
When to charge GST (and when not to)
If you are registered for GST – or required to be – the goods and services you sell in Australia are taxable unless they are GST-free or input taxed.
Non-profit organisations may be entitled to concessions on some transactions.
When to provide a tax invoice
If a customer asks for a tax invoice, you must provide one within 28 days, unless it is for a sale of $82.50 (including GST) or less.
The information a tax invoice must include depends on:
- The sale amount
- The sale type (for example, a sale that includes both taxable and non-taxable items)
- Who issues the tax invoice.
