What Is GST Registration?
(Goods and Services Tax Registration Explained)
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a 10% tax on most goods, services, and other items sold or consumed in Australia.
You must register for GST if:
- Your business has a GST turnover (gross income minus GST) of $75,000 or more per year.
- You’re a non-profit organisation with turnover of $150,000 or more.
- You’re a taxi or ride-sourcing driver, regardless of your turnover.
Once registered, you’ll need to collect GST from your customers, lodge Business Activity Statements (BAS), and send the GST you collect to the ATO.
Who Needs to Register for GST?
(Check if You’re Required to Register)
GST registration depends on your business structure and turnover. Here’s a quick guide:
• Sole Traders: If your turnover is $75,000 or more, you must register for GST.
Even if it’s below that amount, voluntary registration can help you claim GST credits on business expenses.
• Companies: Companies must register for GST once their annual turnover exceeds $75,000.
We can assist you in registering your ABN and GST together to streamline compliance.
• Partnerships and Trusts: If your combined partnership or trust income exceeds $75,000, GST registration is mandatory.
• Ride-Share & Taxi Drivers: All ride-share and taxi drivers (including Uber, Ola, etc.) must register for GST, regardless of their income level.

GST Registration for Different Business Types
GST Registration for Sole Traders
Sole traders often miss the GST threshold early on. If your income is close to $75,000, it’s smart to register before you cross it.
AMA Accountants can help with both GST registration and ongoing BAS lodgements to keep you compliant.
GST Registration for Companies
Newly formed companies can register for GST at the same time as applying for an ABN.
We ensure your ABN and GST registration are set up correctly and linked to your business structure.
GST Registration for ABN Holders
If you already have an ABN, you can register for GST anytime.
Our team can check your business eligibility, apply on your behalf, and get your GST number issued quickly.
Benefits of Registering for GST
Registering for GST offers several advantages beyond compliance:
- Claim GST Credits: You can claim back the GST paid on business purchases
- Avoid Penalties: Stay compliant with ATO regulations and avoid fines.
- Improve Credibility: Registered businesses often look more professional to clients and suppliers.
- Better Record Keeping: Simplifies your business accounting and BAS reporting.
