Reclaiming Tax

Reclaiming GST

All charities registered as 'tax exempt' for charitable purposes may reclaim GST directly from the taxes office.

If your charity hasn't already been issued a GST Reference number you should apply to the tax department in writing enclosing a copy of your tax exemption letter.  You will need this number to complete your claim and this should be inserted on the claim form.

Follow this link and read the instructions carefully to make a claim: https://www.gov.je/taxesmoney/gst/businesses/industry/pages/charitiesnonprofit.aspx#anchor-0
