Understanding GST for Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Practitioners
Understanding GST for Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Practitioners
Are you sure that your services are GST-free? What about pills, teas, or ointments you provide? When can you and when should you register for GST?
GST can be complex but getting it right can be beneficial for you. In this practical, easy to understand session, Australia’s leading independent GST advisor Ken Fehily (who was involved in writing the GST laws and ATO rulings) will explain what every acupuncture and Chinese medicine practitioner needs to know.
You’ll learn:
- When allied health services (like acupuncture, Chinese or herbal medicine) qualify as GST-free
- When physical goods—such as teas, supplements, or ointments—can also be GST-free
- The difference between mandatory and voluntary GST registration for sole traders, partnerships, and companies
- Real-world case studies to help you decide what’s right for your practice
- Followed by a Q&A session
Whether you’re just starting out or reviewing your GST position, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to get it right—and stay compliant.
