What you need to know
The indirect tax applicable in Australia is GSTGST is applicable to the supply of goods and services ‘connected’ with Australia, in the course of a business activity. ‘Connected’ means goods that are supplied within Australia, or services linked to goods in Australia, or services carried out in Australia. Note that if certain supplies of goods or services are made by a non-established supplier, GST will be remitted by the customer.

Monthly verses Quarterly Returns
Quarterly GST
An entity is likely to choose to lodge quarterly returns if it has to remit GST each quarter to the Australian Taxation Office. This will occur if the GST collected by the entity on its revenue transactions is greater than the GST input tax credits. Most businesses will be in this category.
Monthly GST
An entity might choose to lodge monthly if it usually receives a refund from the Taxation Office. This will occur if the GST collected by the entity is less than the GST input tax credits it can claim back on its purchases. Lodging monthly will allow the entity to receive its refund more promptly, thus improving its cash flow. Most churches will be in this category. Many of a church’s revenue transactions will be free of GST.
