I have been sent an invoice from a mechanic, they have added gst to the invoice when they are not registered for gst. I have asked them to remove the gst and reissue the invoice.
im just wondering what my options are?
he has replied to me telling me that I can’t tell him how to run his business.
Hi @Gaitors25,
You're right the business can't charge you GST if they're not registered for GST.
You don't have to pay GST to a business if they're not registered for GST. But, if you already have, you can claim the GST in your activity statement (if you lodge them).
You can also report it to us by completing a tip off form.
