Read this to learn how GetYourGuide applies Australian GST to commissions for non-GST registered suppliers.
Background
In Australia, GetYourGuide is required to apply a 10% Goods and Services Tax (GST) to the commission charged to suppliers who are not registered for GST. This is in compliance with Australian tax laws and affects how commissions are processed and invoiced.
Automatic GST Application
- From December 2024, GetYourGuide applies a 10% GST to commissions for suppliers without a registered GST number.
- This GST is automatically included in your monthly invoices.
- Suppliers can claim this GST as an input tax credit in their GST returns, using the invoices as proof.
Updating GST Information
- Suppliers with a GST number should update their details in the Supplier Portal.
- Once updated, GST will no longer be applied to future commissions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is GetYourGuide applying 10% GST to the commission it charges me?
As a provider of digital services in Australia, GetYourGuide must adhere to Australian tax laws, which require a 10% GST on commissions for non-GST registered suppliers. -
GST is already included in the ticket price. Why apply GST again?
The transaction between you and the customer is separate from the commission charged by GetYourGuide. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requires GST to be collected on both transactions. -
Is the GetYourGuide invoice sufficient to claim the input GST credit?
Yes, our invoices meet all ATO requirements for claiming input GST credits. -
Can I list tours on GetYourGuide without a GST number?
Yes, you can list tours, but the GST applied by GetYourGuide will not be recoverable as an input GST deduction.
