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.
