Do we charge foreign clients GST?

I have since registered for GST after my accountant got back to me with this:

Hi Dylan

We agree with the following points in your email below;

· There is no GST on your current export sales/services.
· You are not currently required to register for GST, as your turnover from Australian sourced income is less than $75,000.

However, you may still wish to consider registering for GST. If you were to register for GST from say 1 July 2017, you would be entitled to claim input tax credits for the GST included in the price of purchases you use in your business to produce your export sales/services.

With this above point, we can get tax credits for office goods!

However, it does involve a small amount of admin work so it’s worthwhile investing in a basic accounting software. It normally takes me less than 15 minutes every week to record expenses and send out invoices. Quarterly BAS takes less than 10 minutes as it’s a matter of asking the accounting software to spit out relevant data and file them online. Once you get into the habit, it’s quite easy to manage and doesn't take much effort.
