No Gst, hrly rate increase?

If we aren't eligible for gst, should we increase our hrly rate as we lose 30% of earnings straight away from fees

 Are you in India?  It's a bit confusing, in one post you mention ABN (Australian Business Number) and now an Indian tax...

 

I am also not quite clear why you think you pay 30% fees. The fees are 20% on the first $ 500 with any one client, then 10% and 5% from $ 10k onwards.

 

In general, you are running your own business and as such you need to factor your business expenses into your rates and prices of course.
