If you are GST Registered with your ABN

Some platforms automatically add GST to invoices - Careseekers does not. Instead, GST-registered workers can use a simple, compliant workaround to ensure GST is recorded correctly and remains separate from platform fees.

This method is widely used by GST-registered workers on Careseekers and keeps your bookkeeping clean and ATO-compliant.

If you’re GST-registered and providing taxable services, you are responsible for issuing a tax invoice that properly accounts for GST (GST-exclusive base + 10% GST if applicable) when billing.

How It Works

1. Enter your standard hourly rate
   Create your invoice as you normally would, using your usual hourly rate.

2. Add GST as a separate expense line
   Add a new expense line for 10% of the invoice total and label it “GST.”

Why This Method Works

Using this approach ensures:

• Your GST amount is clearly identified
  The GST you are charging is itemised on the invoice.

• No admin fee is applied to your GST
  Because it’s entered as an expense, the platform’s admin fee won’t be charged on this amount.

• Simple BAS reporting
  You can easily remit the GST to the ATO when lodging your Business Activity Statement.
