I recently had to pay around $4,500 GST on imported goods. I am wondering if there is any way I can claim the amount now without having to wait until my activity statement is due. As a sole trader, I really need the money to keep the business running.

Hiya @Julz2202,
Unfortunately you do need to wait until you lodge your activity statement. If it is going to be an ongoing thing, where you will be regularly importing goods, it might be worth looking into deferred GST.

Thanks @StephATO. I will look into the deferred GST.
