I am a building project manager. My client is mostly absent and/or overseas. I charge separately for my hours plus gst. Can I invoice the client for actual cost of materials and subcontractors without adding gst. My understanding is that this is possible if I attach the original invoices to my reimbursement claim.
Hiya @ProjectManager
What you're referring to is an agent relationship. It requires a more in-depth discussion than the general information we provide here.
The best option is to write to us through online services. I would send the secure mail message under the GST topic "Other sales, purchases or and tax invoice enquiry".
If you don't believe you have an agent relationship, you don't have to increase the invoices when forwarding them to your client. For example: If the materials are $100 plus $10 GST. You don't have to invoice your client for $110 plus $11 GST. You can invoice your client for $100 plus $10 GST.
As long as you charge the GST on top of your invoice price, what you charge them is between you and your client.
