Hello.

I am registered for gst despite not meeting the $75000 threshold.

I charge my clients for my services and add GST on top.

In addition to my services, sometimes I incur fees on my clients behalf which I then on charge to them as disbursements on their bill/invoice.


Costs llike court fees do not attract any GST.


When I charge my client for these disbursements that have no GST attached, am I meant to add GST on for some reason? Even though I didn't have to pay any GST on the fees in the first place?


Also, on my invoices, I charge them for my service, showing gst. But below that I list the disbursement funds they owe me, in this scenario, not including GST as there was none when I paid it initially on their behalf.


Am I doing this correctly?

Hello @markacino


You must include GST on those fees when passing them on, even if they were GST-free to start with. It's because the actual act of you paying the fee on the client's behalf is considered a service.
