Filing of Goods and Services Tax done right

A consumption or value-added tax of 10% on transactions for almost all goods and services is known as Goods and Services Tax or GST. This tax is implemented on most transaction of production of goods and services and then refunded to all the parties or an individual involved in chain of production but is not given to the final consumer.

History of GST

The idea of a broad-based consumption was first proposed by federal treasurer Paul Keating during the 1985 Tax Summit but due to pressure from ACTU and welfare businesses and groups, it was dropped by the then Labour Prime Minister, Bob Hawke. Finally, on 1^st July, 2000, the GST replaced the previous Federal wholesale sales tax system and was introduced by the Howard Government.

How it works

The GST will be included in the prices of all goods and services sold by a business after it has registered for GST. They collect GST while selling the goods and service to the customers. Even if an individual operates more than one business, he/she has to only register for GST once. After registration, the GST is included in all products sold by the business and all claims GST in all the products they purchase for the business. If you are a GST-registered business, it is required by you to issue tax invoices to customers, collect GST and then send it the proper authority along with the BAS. The GST-registered business must add the GST to all goods and services you sell unless these are input taxed or GST-free.
