It\u2019s included in the price paid and collected by the seller, then paid to Inland Revenue.<\/p>\n<p>The amount of GST charged and collected is 15% of the non-GST price. If something costs $100 before GST is added, then the GST inclusive price will be $115. That\u2019s easy to work out for a nice number like 100, but not so easy otherwise. And going back the other way, from the GST inclusive price to the non-GST price is even less obvious. Clue: You don\u2019t just subtract 15% off the GST inclusive price.<\/p>\n<p>To make it quick and easy to add or subtract GST from a price, we created the handy GST calculator below. If you\u2019re running your own business, chances are you\u2019ll need this calculator a lot \u2013 feel free to add this page to your favourites.<\/p>\n<p>But not all small businesses have to register for GST, and some goods and services don\u2019t have GST added. \u00a0If you\u2019d like to know a bit more about the basics of GST in New Zealand, read on.

Otherwise it\u2019s optional. The $60,000 threshold for self-employed people doesn\u2019t include any PAYE income you might earn through wages or a salary from an employer.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re registered for GST, you can claim back the GST you paid on business-related expenses. But you have to get a GST tax invoice for anything you claim over $50 and keep these records for seven years in case Inland Revenue audits your accounts.<\/p>\n<p>You also have to include GST in the prices you charge customers, then file a GST return at regular intervals during the year and pay the GST owing to Inland Revenue each time. You can choose a monthly, two-monthly or six-monthly filing frequency. Filing more frequently reduces the paperwork involved each time and can keep the payments more manageable. But if you only have a few transactions a month you might prefer a longer frequency.<\/p>\n<h3>What has to be included in a GST invoice?<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re registered for GST you have to include certain things in invoices for the goods and services you sell. But if it\u2019s something worth $50 or less you can just issue a receipt instead.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what a GST invoice must include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The words \u2018tax invoice\u2019 &#8211; usually as a heading<\/li>\n<li>Your name or the name you trade under<\/li>\n<li>Your GST number<\/li>\n<li>The date the invoice was issued<\/li>\n<li>A description of the goods or services<\/li>\n<li>The total amount payable and a statement that says it includes GST; if the invoice is for more than $1,000, you need to show the GST exclusive amount, the GST amount and the GST inclusive total<\/li>\n<li>If the invoice is for more than $1,000 including GST, the buyer\u2019s name and address, plus an indication of the quantity or hours you supplied<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have to reissue a duplicate invoice for a customer, you must add the words \u2018copy only\u2019.<\/p>\n<h3>What goods and services don\u2019t have GST added?<\/h3>\n<p>While most goods and services sold in New Zealand have to include GST in their price, some can have a rate of 0% in certain circumstances and others are always exempt.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re claiming GST on business-related expenses you should always check the receipt or invoice to make sure GST was included before filing your return.<\/p>\n<p>If you think the nature of your goods or services means they can be sold without charging GST, it\u2019s important to get professional advice to make sure. In the meantime, here\u2018s a brief summary of the main reasons GST may not be included in certain goods or services.<\/p>\n<h4>The seller is not registered for GST<\/h4>\n<p>If the seller is earning less than $60,000 a year from their self-employed or business activity, they don\u2019t have to register for and charge GST. That means it\u2019s possible to buy the same goods or services from different suppliers and pay GST to one but not the other. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to check the invoice before claiming GST.<\/p>\n<h4>Zero-rated supplies<\/h4>\n<p>Zero-rated supplies are goods or services that would normally have to include GST, but in certain circumstances the rate is 0% rather than the usual 15%.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some examples of where GST might be zero-rated:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Goods that are purchased duty free in New Zealand when travelling<\/li>\n<li>International air travel, including a domestic connecting flight if sold as part of a single ticket or contract for the international journey<\/li>\n<li>Exported goods and certain exported services<\/li>\n<li>Specialised tools used solely to manufacture goods for export to a non-GST registered non-resident<\/li>\n<li>Goods and services applied to a temporary import, such as repairs made in New Zealand to a visiting boat<\/li>\n<li>Services performed outside New Zealand<\/li>\n<li>Sale of a going concern ( the whole or stand-alone part of a taxable activity) from one GST registered person to another<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Exempt supplies<\/h4>\n<p>Exempt supplies are not subject to GST and you don\u2019t include them in your GST return. Some examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Donated goods and services that are later sold<\/li>\n<li>Financial services, such as paying or collecting interest, bank fees and loans<\/li>\n<li>Penalty interest for overdue accounts<\/li>\n<li>Fines, such as parking tickets<\/li>\n<li>Renting or sub-letting a residential dwelling, and therefore landlords can\u2019t claim GST on their property-related expenses<\/li>\n<li>Sale of fine metal (gold, silver and platinum) by a dealer or importer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Property transactions<\/h4>\n<p>GST is not normally charged on the sale of residential property. However, it can apply if the seller is GST registered and the sale is part of the seller\u2019s business activity. GST can also apply if the seller has a pattern of buying and selling residential properties, including the ones they live in.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re buying or selling residential or commercial property, it\u2019s important to be sure where you stand regarding GST before signing any agreement, which can mean consulting a tax advisor.<\/p>\n<h4>Koha or gifts<\/h4>\n<p>GST is not included in an unconditional gift, which means a voluntary payment that\u2019s made to a non-profit organisation and has no goods or services benefit to the giver or payer.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re registered for GST and sell your goods or services for a koha or donation, you still have to collect and pay GST to Inland Revenue. That\u2019s because the person made the koha in return for the goods or services you provided and would not have received them otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>However, a non-profit organisation selling donated items doesn\u2019t have to register for GST and therefore the prices do not include GST.<\/p>\n<h4>To learn more<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Visit the GST section of the <a
