Hi There

This question is about NDIS and GST for contractors. If a Service provider who meets all 4 requirement for the NDIS service to be Free gst engages a contractor to do the work, will the contractor's payment attract gst (over75k and registered for GST)? The same contractor go and spend few hours every day with the participant ( duties such as home maintenance, taking the participant to doctors appointments ect..). Considering the service provider is engaging the same contractor to the work, will that make a difference.? If the contractor buys stuff for the participant and not reimbursed by the NDIS provider, will that be allowable deductions considering it is in the way of generating assessable income and will the gst included in these expenses be claimable as gst credits.

Thank you

Hiya @BAS


Because the third party provider doesn't have a written agreement with the participant, the third party services are not GST free. There is a great example available on our website that explains this.


For the second part of your question, it really depends on what they're buying. If it's in the course of running their business, for example as providing transportation and they purchase fuel for a vehicle, this would be a claimable expense. If it is something they are doing out of kindness, such as bringing a gift this would not be deductible as it's not a business expense.
