GST in Australia

[techinovat]

Hey guys,

  I received two invoices from Upwork for the service fee and the payment for the work. Both do not show the GST component. Does this mean that I do not have to pay GST, as the GST is already included in the service fee?

ABN already registered for GST.

Thanks for your response.

Cheers

Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,

Upwork charges the Goods and Services Tax (GST) to freelancers and agencies in Australia, unless these freelancers and agencies provide a valid Australian Business Number (ABN) and acknowledge that they're registered for GST. GST will be assessed on fees for services provided by us, not on fees freelancers and agencies charge their clients for services they provide their clients. You can here to learn more about this.

Please consult your tax advisor to determine your GST obligations. To learn more about registering for GST, you can visit the Australian Taxation Office site.
