Get GST-Registered The Easy Way
You must register for GST if your business has a GST turnover of $75,000 or more or if you expect to reach this threshold. Non-profit organisations have a higher threshold of $150,000. GST is a 10% tax on most goods and services sold in Australia.
GST registration affects how you charge customers, lodge Business Activity Statements (BAS) and manage your cash flow. Registering at the right time helps you stay compliant with ATO requirements and avoid penalties.
At Honcho, our Registered Tax Agents handle your GST registration with the ATO, ensuring it’s completed correctly and efficiently from the start.
Why Choose Honcho for GST Registration
GST registration must align with your ABN, business activity and turnover thresholds to ensure correct tax reporting from the start. Honcho provides a structured and accurate GST registration process, lodging directly through authorised ATO systems and helping ensure your details are correctly set up for ongoing compliance.
ATO GST Registration Made Simple
Before you complete GST registration in Australia, you must have an active ABN and understand whether your GST turnover meets the $75,000 threshold or if voluntary registration applies. Honcho makes the process simple, with our team supporting you from registration through to ongoing compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register for GST with Honcho?
Honcho makes GST registration fast and effortless. Once your payment is successful, our automated system immediately lodges your application with the ATO. You’ll receive an email notification as soon as your registration is successful or if the ATO requires a review of your details.
How long does registration take?
With Honcho’s automated process, your GST registration is usually completed within minutes. In some cases where details need to be reviewed by the ATO, the process may take 1 to 2 business days.
Do I need an ABN before registering for GST?
Yes. You’ll need an active Australian Business Number (ABN) before you can register for GST. If you don’t have one yet, Honcho can help you apply for both your ABN and GST at the same time.
What happens after I’m registered?
Once registered, you’ll start including GST in your prices and reporting it through your Business Activity Statement (BAS). Honcho can also help you prepare and lodge your BAS when the time comes.
Can I register for GST voluntarily?
Yes. Businesses below the threshold can register voluntarily, but the decision should consider cash flow, client expectations and your ability to manage BAS reporting obligations.
Does GST registration change how I invoice clients?
Yes. Once registered, you must include GST on taxable sales and issue tax invoices that meet ATO requirements, including showing the GST amount clearly.
What if I no longer need to be registered for GST?
If your turnover falls below the threshold or you cease trading, we can help you cancel your GST registration correctly with the ATO to ensure your records remain accurate.
