Frequently Asked Questions
How do I remove GST from a price?

Divide the GST-inclusive price by 11 to find the GST component alone. Subtract from the total to get the ex-GST price. Example: $220 total ÷ 11 = $20 GST. Ex-GST price = $220 − $20 = $200. Or simply divide by 1.1 to get the ex-GST amount directly: $220 ÷ 1.1 = $200.

What is a valid tax invoice?

A tax invoice must include: your business name and ABN, the date, a description of the goods or services, the GST amount (or statement that GST is included), and the total amount payable. For amounts under $1,000, a simplified invoice can state the total includes GST of $X. For amounts $1,000 and over, the GST amount must be shown separately.

What is a Business Activity Statement?

A BAS (Business Activity Statement) is the form lodged with the ATO to report and pay net GST. Most small businesses lodge quarterly. The BAS shows GST collected on sales and GST credits on purchases; the difference is paid to (or refunded from) the ATO. You can lodge via myGov, the ATO business portal, or through a registered BAS agent.

Can I claim GST on a car purchase?

Yes, if the vehicle is used in your business. For vehicles with a GST-inclusive cost above the car limit ($69,674 for 2024-25), GST credits are capped at 1/11th of the car limit. For vehicles below the limit used partly for business, you claim the business-use proportion of the GST paid.
