You're a freelancer, and the letters "GST" probably make your eyes glaze over. You might even feel a little dread. That's normal. Many self employed people feel the same way. But understanding when and why you need to register for GST (Goods and Services Tax) isn't as complicated as it seems. It's about knowing a few key numbers and how they apply to your business. This chapter will help you figure out if GST is something you need to deal with right now, or if it's something to keep an eye on for the future. This isn't a substitute for professional tax advice.
