i Provide purchasing, supply and install services for a fee. I purchase the items, oversee delivery and perform install where required. I charge a set fee for this service, but do I need to charge GST on the goods purchased? Or would this be a “reimbursement” from the client?
Hi @Bobby2020,
If you're on charging the cost, then your invoice will show the full amount you've paid for the materials including the GST. Then if your GST registered, you'll include GST on the total. This is because you're supplying a taxable supply.
Hello @Bobby2020,
Are you on charging the purchase of the materials you need to the client as this would have a GST obligation. Or are you already assuming that in your cost. Depending on how you have set it up and plan to charge the client will impact on what you will need to do.
hi Teddy
Yes, I do on charge as I need to recover the costs. I am guessing I just need to invoice them with GST even if I am just recovering the costs as I charge for the services in a separate line.
