If you want to know more about what is the GST threshold for small business, we dive deeper into that a little further on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re required to add GST to your goods or services, you must include and clearly indicate GST in your sales price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you lodge your GST return with the Inland Revenue Department (IRD), you can claim back GST credits on the goods you purchased from suppliers that were used as business expenses in the creation or supply of your businesses\u2019 goods and\/or services.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Do I need a GST number for my small business?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In New Zealand, small businesses required to register for GST will need their IRD number as well as personal and business details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once registered for GST you\u2019ll receive a GST number. This GST number may be the same as your IRD number.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GST and IRD numbers alongside a host of related data can be accessed through your myIR account.

Be sure to include this on any invoices you issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some New Zealand sole traders and businesses, such as those operating taxis or ride share services, must register for GST regardless of income or threshold, as the services they provide must include GST.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Small business not registered for GST<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are circumstances where your New Zealand small business will not be registered for GST. The primary reason is operating under the GST threshold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A small business not registered for GST in New Zealand is generally turning over less than $60,000 per year, or not predicting they\u2019ll reach that threshold by the end of the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be sure you register for GST if your earnings go over the threshold, it\u2019s important to keep an eye on expected revenue and taxable activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you\u2019re not required to register for GST as a small business, you may still choose to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>GST return for small business<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re registered for and charging GST, you\u2019ll need to file GST returns with the IRD. This is known as a GST return and can be submitted either every two months or every six months. This choice is up to the individual business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you submit a GST return, you\u2019ll end up either owing GST to the IRD or you\u2019ll receive a GST refund, depending on whether you paid or received more GST in your taxable activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please note <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/nz\/small-business-resources\/gst\/taxable-supplies-exempt-gst\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">there are taxable supplies that are exempt from GST in New Zealand<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which you may want to consider when submitting a GST return for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dealing with GST in your small business accounting software<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, the legwork of charging, recording, and reporting your GST is done easily with your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/nz\/accounting-software\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">small business accounting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> software.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cloud accounting apps such as Reckon One will deal with most GST concerns automatically, leaving more time for you to run your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][ba_social_share icon_bg=&#8221;#03002e&#8221; icon_padding=&#8221;10px|12px|10px|12px|true|true&#8221; layout=&#8221;classic&#8221; show_text=&#8221;off&#8221; btn_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false&#8221; btn_bg_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;50px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;25px||||false|false&#8221; custom_css_before=&#8221; content: %22SHARE THIS%22;|| font-size: 16px;|| font-weight: 700;|| line-height: 22px;|| letter-spacing: 0em;|| text-align: center;|| color: #ff5447;|| margin-bottom: 10px;|| display: inline-flex;|| position: absolute;|| margin-top: 10px;&#8221; border_width_top_main=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_top_main=&#8221;#e4e4e4&#8243; border_radii_icon=&#8221;on|5px|5px|5px|5px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_css_before_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221;][ba_social_share_child _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/ba_social_share_child][ba_social_share_child network_type=&#8221;facebook&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/ba_social_share_child][ba_social_share_child network_type=&#8221;linkedin&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/ba_social_share_child][ba_social_share_child network_type=&#8221;email&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/ba_social_share_child][\/ba_social_share][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Running your own company?
