What is the Australia GST registration threshold?
The Australia GST registration threshold is A$75,000, measured over the current or projected 12 months. Cross it and you must register for Australian GST with business.gov.au. You then charge GST on sales to customers in Australia. Below the threshold, registration is optional rather than required.
Do marketplace sales count toward this threshold?
No. Under the deemed-supplier rules that apply here, the marketplace is treated as having made the supply to the buyer, so those sales are the platform's and never reach your own registration test. The same is true of anything sold through a merchant of record such as Paddle, Polar or Lemon Squeezy. Only sales you made yourself count toward the figure on this page.
When do you need to register?
You must register for GST once your annual turnover reaches AUD 75,000.
Deadline: Within 21 days of reaching the threshold.
