We will be providing trade/professional training courses & are wondering whether all costs involved with the fees charged to students will be GST free, eg provision of the course content, trainers, provision of food & accommodation for regional students, or will it be only the provision of the course content itself that is the GST free component?
Hi @KHSSE,
That's a great question.
Generally, for the education course itself may be considered GST free. For accommodation, food and trainers would not be GST free. There is some great information in a ruling you can have a look at.
If the students are completing the course to further their employment, they may be able to claim those expenses in their Income Tax Returns.
