GST Basics for Personal Trainers

Do I Need to Register for GST?

If your annual business turnover is $75,000 or more, you must register for GST with the ATO. This includes all income from personal training sessions, group classes, packs, passes, and memberships.

What is GST?

GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a 10% tax on most goods and services sold in Australia. When you are GST-registered, you charge an extra 10% on your services and remit it to the ATO through your Business Activity Statement (BAS).

Key Points:

- Personal training services are taxable under GST - The $75,000 threshold is based on your rolling 12-month turnover - You must register within 21 days of reaching the threshold - Once registered, you must charge GST on all taxable sales - You can claim GST credits on your business expenses
