Hello, I'm hoping you can help.


We are currently subcontracting to a sole trader who is contracting to a larger organisation.


We currently invoice the sole trader who then expenses our invoice to the larger organisation.


The organisation has requested that we invoice them directly, as the sole trader is not registered for GST.


Can we legally do this, or must we invoice the contractor only?


Thank you.

IMHO your question has little to do with taxes.

Rather, your question belongs in the realm of commercial law.

Carefully consider who is your customer. Examine your contractual terms.

You should invoice your customer, and the customer should pay you.

Don't risk being hung out to dry.

If in doubt, seek advice from am experienced commercial lawyer.

You're welcome.
