When do I need to register for GST in Australia?

Common question · Tax Law · Australia · 23 October 2026

General information from Lawmateanz

You must register for GST if your business has a GST turnover of $75,000 or more, or $150,000 or more for a not-for-profit organisation.

Taxi and ride-sourcing drivers must register regardless of turnover.

Once registered, you charge 10% GST on most sales and lodge business activity statements.

The ATO's website explains how to register.
