The good news? Australian tax law gives not-for-profit organisations some amazing GST concessions that cut out the red tape and help you keep more cash for your charitable purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what you need to know about when you have to pay GST, where you might be GST-free, and how to claim input tax credits, as well as the BAS lodgement options that could fit the way your organisation works.<\/p>\n<h2>Do you need to register for GST?<\/h2>\n<p>Most not-for-profits (NFPs) only need to be registered for GST when their GST turnover (not total income) is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ato.gov.au\/businesses-and-organisations\/not-for-profit-organisations\/your-organisation\/gst-for-not-for-profits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$150,000 or more<\/a>. Below that, you can voluntarily register if it suits your operations, such as to claim GST credits on purchases.

Proceeds from these input-taxed events don\u2019t count towards the annual turnover test for GST registration. Make sure to decide one way or the other before you start selling tickets.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Non-commercial activities:<\/strong> For endorsed charities, gift deductible entities, and government schools, sales can be GST-free where the consideration is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ato.gov.au\/businesses-and-organisations\/not-for-profit-organisations\/your-organisation\/gst-for-not-for-profits\/gst-concessions-for-not-for-profits#Nominalconsiderationthresholdtests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">below market value<\/a> or cost thresholds (for accommodation, that\u2019s either less than 75% of market value or cost; for other supplies, it\u2019s either less than 50% of market value or less than 75% of cost).<\/li>\n<li><strong>School tuckshops\/canteens:<\/strong> NFPs running a school tuckshop can choose to treat all food sales as input taxed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Donated second-hand goods:<\/strong> Sales by NFPs are GST-free (as long as the goods stay essentially the same as when donated).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gifts:<\/strong> True gifts (meaning voluntary, with no material benefit to the payer) are not considered for GST and are excluded from GST turnover. If a donor gets a material benefit \u2013 like a fundraising dinner seat \u2013 GST will apply to the full ticket price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Grants, sponsorships and &#8216;material benefit&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>Grants and sponsorship arrangements can be a little trickier to wrap your head around. If the funder gets a material benefit (advertising, reports, professional services, etc.), the payment might be consideration for a taxable supply and, subsequently, GST included will be required.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s a genuine gift with no obligation? Then it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/small-business-resources\/gst\/how-to-calculate-gst\/\">not subject to GST<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Claiming GST credits<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re registered, you can already claim input tax credits on goods and services you buy to make taxable supplies. Below are two helpful concessions to remember:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Volunteer expenses: If a volunteer buys an item directly related to their volunteer activity and your organisation reimburses them, you can claim GST credits \u2013 but only if it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ato.gov.au\/businesses-and-organisations\/not-for-profit-organisations\/your-organisation\/your-obligations-to-volunteers-employees-and-contractors\/not-for-profit-volunteers\/volunteers-and-gst\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than $82.50<\/a> and you hold the tax invoice.<\/li>\n<li>GST credit adjustments on gifts: If a business donates goods to your NFP, it doesn\u2019t need to reverse any previously claimed GST credits on those items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you later find you\u2019ve claimed credits incorrectly or how you use a particular item changes, then GST credit adjustments will most likely apply \u2013 so build a quick quarterly review into your tax system to catch these potential issues early on.<\/p>\n<h2>Cash basis option<\/h2>\n<p>Eligible registered charities and gift-deductible entities can account on a cash basis for GST \u2013 regardless of turnover \u2013 which can make your GST duties and cash flow much easier to manage (you report GST whenever you receive or make payments).<\/p>\n<h2>Non-profit sub-entities, GST groups and religious groups<\/h2>\n<p>Bigger organisations sometimes choose to separate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ato.gov.au\/businesses-and-organisations\/not-for-profit-organisations\/your-organisation\/gst-for-not-for-profits\/gst-branches-groups-and-non-profit-sub-entities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">different activities for GST purposes<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Non-profit sub-entity election:<\/strong> You can run discrete activities (such as a caf\u00e9 or op shop) as a non-profit sub-entity, so their GST status and reporting are ring-fenced.<\/li>\n<li><strong>GST group:<\/strong> Various NFPs in the same NFP association can form a GST group without having to meet the 90% ownership test.<\/li>\n<li><strong>GST religious groups:<\/strong> Two or more eligible charities can be approved by the Commissioner, so transactions within the group are outside the GST net.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Should your BAS lodgement be monthly, quarterly or annually?<\/h2>\n<p>It really comes down to the size of your organisation and whether you voluntarily register:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ato.gov.au\/businesses-and-organisations\/gst-excise-and-indirect-taxes\/gst\/lodging-your-bas-or-annual-gst-return\/options-for-reporting-and-paying-gst\/monthly-gst-reporting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monthly:<\/a> Required if GST turnover is $20 million or more (or if the ATO instructs you). Due date is the 21st of the following month.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ato.gov.au\/businesses-and-organisations\/gst-excise-and-indirect-taxes\/gst\/lodging-your-bas-or-annual-gst-return\/options-for-reporting-and-paying-gst\/quarterly-gst-reporting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quarterly:<\/a> The default for most NFPs with turnover below $20 million. Standard deadlines are 28 October, 28 February, 28 April and 28 July.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ato.gov.au\/businesses-and-organisations\/gst-excise-and-indirect-taxes\/gst\/lodging-your-bas-or-annual-gst-return\/options-for-reporting-and-paying-gst\/annual-gst-reporting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Annual GST reporting:<\/a> If you voluntarily register (i.e. you\u2019re under $150,000 and not required to register), you can choose to report and pay annually. The annual GST return is due at the same time as when your income tax return is due, or 28 February if you don\u2019t lodge an income tax return.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What\u2019s GST-free vs input taxed vs taxable?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>GST-free:<\/strong> You don\u2019t charge GST, but you can claim GST credits. For example, plenty of exports\/exported goods, certain medical aids, some course materials, some religious services, basic food, and non-commercial activities that meet thresholds. There\u2019s no GST on the sale, and credits are usually available.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Input taxed:<\/strong> You don\u2019t charge GST and can\u2019t claim credits on related costs (elections for fundraising events, school tuckshops, some financial supplies). While there\u2019s no GST on the sale, it also means that credits aren\u2019t available to you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Taxable:<\/strong> You charge 10% GST and then claim GST credits on related costs (think professional services, venue hire, merchandise, etc.).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Make sure your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/accounting-software\/\">accounting software<\/a> is set up to flag every activity correctly so that your financial statements match your GST obligations and your GST refunds are accurate. And when in doubt, always check the latest guidance from the Australian Taxation Office or speak to your accountant.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][ba_social_share icon_bg=&#8221;#03002e&#8221; icon_padding=&#8221;10px|12px|10px|12px|true|true&#8221;
