The business I work for acts as a landlord and is registered for GST. The business has received an invoice from a local fire department for a fire alarm call out fee as GST free (this was charged to the business due to a tenant setting off the alarm). When on-charging the tenant, should GST be added to this charge?


See example below, is this correct?

Fire alarm call out fee received: Fee $1,000, GST: $0.00, Total: $1,000

On-charging call out fee to tenant: Fee $1,000, GST: $100, Total: $1,100


If so, could you please point me to the Tax Ruling or Legislation which states the case?


Other ATO community posts I found which supports adding GST to the on-charge:

Hi @m.parkets1990


If the business is registered for GST they're required to charge GST for taxable sales.
