Meaning of GST in a contractual job salary

kremitz

What is the meaning of GST if for instance sinabi ng employer na $100 per hour (exc GST)? ang alam ko lang na gst eh yung goods and services tax.

Kamusta po!

If your employer says they will pay you "$100 per hour (ex GST)", it means that they will pay you $100 plus 10% for GST = $110. The idea is that you are supposed to forward the extra $10 collected to the Australian Taxation Office.

But if your employer says they will pay you $100 per hour (inc GST), it means they will pay you $100. However, you will need to deduct 1/11th as the GST component. In other words, you are actually only getting paid $90.91 plus 10% (ie. $9.01) GST.

I hope that makes sense! 🙂
