GST and Newcastle NSW bookkeeping
Australia's Goods and Services Tax is 10% and applies to most taxable sales. NSW businesses with annual turnover above AU$75,000 must register for GST and lodge a Business Activity Statement (BAS) quarterly or annually. Your bookkeeper codes each transaction with the right GST treatment in Xero or MYOB so the BAS totals are ready each period without any last-minute work.
