GST

Postby Mick White » Tue Aug 15 2017, 04:46

GST advice ? If a helicopter is owned by a company that is registered for GST, and GST was paid on purchase of the aircraft, do I have to charge GST if I sell the machine to a private entity ? I could understand that if I was selling the machine to a company or business that it would be applicable. But as a second hand machine sold to a person, I would have thought that it was not applicable. The reason I am asking is that my accountant (alias tax man) is telling me that I have to charge GST to an individual, but I don't believe him ? Please advise your experience?

Hi Mick,

I am not an expert. However, my thoughts are being as you are registered for GST, you will need to charge GST on your goods and services (I.e. On the sale of the chopper).

If you are not registered for GST, then you don't charge GST. Makes it a bit unfair if you are competing with someone selling a machine not registered for GST to a private operator.

Happy to be corrected.

You probably claimed the gst on the first year's tax return, and are claiming gst on things done to it.

When you sell, you will need to pay the Feral Garment the gst on the sale, so if you don't charge it to the buyer, you will lose.
