Hi,
I have found conflicting information on the internet regarding payments to overseas suppliers (physical goods or Software as a Service eg subscription & licences) and whether they are recorded as GST Free or BAS Excluded. Some overseas suppliers (eg Adobe) are registered for GST in Australia and show the GST amount on the invoice but others (eg Mailchimp) are not registered for GST in Australia and do not show tax on the invoice.
Need help with overseas suppliers not registered for GST in Australia. Hoping someone can assist with answering :)
One website says - Payments to overseas suppliers and domestic suppliers not registered for GST - are GST Free
The answer provided to a question in the ATO community says - I understand that payments to a Overseas Supplier have no GST (would be coded N-T) and not reported on the BAS
At the end of the day, I am not claiming GST unless specified on the tax invoice and therefore no issue with over claiming from the ATO but I want to get the coding correct and can't find a definitive ATO authority.
Thanks
