Hi,
If I were to purchase a motor vehicle from a private seller
- Can I Claim the GST on the Purchase price?
- Can I Claim it as an expense without an invoice?
Thanks

Hello @Annoymous1234,
If the the private seller isn't registered for GST and isn't charging GST you can't claim a credit. The only time you can is if you're buying a 2nd hand motor vehicle to sell the vehicle as part of your business. When claiming the vehicle or its expenses the main way to keep a record of the interaction is to use a receipt or an invoice.
