    You must register for GST: when your business or enterprise has a GST turnover (gross income from all businesses minus GST) of $75,000 or more (the GST threshold) – to find out how this is calculated see Working out your GST turnover.

    Do you receive more than $75k per year?

      When interacting with the “system” you can circumvent some rules. Getting your employer to pay without taxing you is terrific but the trade off is paying GST. It is not advisable to try and get the GST back as the ATO may come for the unpaid tax and create problems and stress for you. The only way to pay zero is having your own business.
