When your business is registered for GST, you know that you are able to claim a credit back on your next BAS for the GST you pay to your Supplier. But what happens when the Supplier is charging you GST when they aren’t actually registered to collect GST? You may pay them the extra 10% on their invoice but you are not entitled to claim that credit back from the ATO. If it has already been claimed, you may have to refund it to the ATO at a later date.
The Government recently announced that they intend to give the Commissioner of Taxation up to sixty days to hold activity statement refunds – including GST and other indirect taxes such as luxury car tax, wine equalisation tax, etc. – while verifying the claims made. For many businesses, waiting for up to an extra 60 days for the refund will have a major cash flow impact.
