- Content creators in Australia need to register for GST if their turnover from their enterprise is $75,000 or more in a 12-month period.
- This includes payments received for creating and posting content that reviews and promotes products and services, acquires followers, viewers and subscribers, is sponsored or endorsed, is licensed by others, or is created in collaboration with other content creators.
- When calculating their GST turnover, content creators should include both taxable and GST-free sales, as well as the value of non-monetary payments.
- Payments received from recipients outside Australia may be GST-free, while payments received within Australia will be taxable sales.
- Once registered, content creators need to collect GST on taxable sales and pay it by lodging a business activity statement (BAS).
- Content creators may be able to claim GST credits when they lodge their BAS.
