  • Paying GST

    Posted by Brandon-Nicholas on June 23, 2023 at 8:46 am

    Hi there,

    I am self employed as a sole trader and am in the process of setting up a private foundation to use to bring my business expenses down etc.

    My question is in regards to GST. Should I just charge GST as normal, put the GST aside and complete a BAS as normal? Would this cause any clashes with the information I provide in my individual tax return.

    Can anyone share their experience with this?

    Whoever you are setting up the foundation with should be able to answer your questions.
