I am helping a new Not For Profit, Charity, with their invoice template, and I stated "10% GST included" on the invoice. They earn less than $150K, so the charity does not need to register for GST and does not pay GST but the company being invoiced does pay GST ----- is this correct to state 10% GST Included? Or it is not required? I think it is best to state GST included, to ensure the charity is compliant with GST being charged for SERVICES but not for the goods they sell which is honey, goods like honey are GST-free. Thanks!

If the charity is not registered, or required to be registered, you should not include GST on the invoices for services provided by the charity.


You should get professional advice on whether or not it is beneficial to register for GST and what to do if you have included GST amounts on invoices at a time when the charity wasn't registered for GST.

Okay, thank you for this. To confirm, this means that the company being invoiced is not required to pay GST if the charity did not invoice it; the company is registered for GST but is not required to pay GST if it is a GST-free sale. I would have thought the Government would require the company to pay GST regardless of the charity not registering for GST.
