Register for Goods & Services Tax (GST)

Register for Goods & Services Tax (GST)

You must register for GST if:

your business has an annual turnover of $50 000 or more ($100 000 or more for non profit organisations)
you provide taxi travel as part of your business, regardless of your annual turnover.

To register for GST you will need to complete an application form. If you wish to apply for an ABN at the same time, then use the same form.

Be aware that you need an Australian Business Number (ABN) to register for GST, as the ABN is part of the GST system. Your ABN will also be your GST registration number.
