Hi guys
Just bought a phone from JB Hi-Fi with gift cards.
My understanding before was to get GST back I need to show the goods & tax invoice. For purchases over $1k, the invoice needs to state the GST amount & name of the person flying.
But the invoice I just got, only has the invoice number, item price. No name, no GST amount.
Is that OK?
Go back to JB and ask for an invoice with your name on it.
You will be rejected 100%
yeah this isn't ok, you actually need to ask for a tax invoice from JB, otherwise they just give you a receipt which isn't enough unfortunately.
They ended up writing a manual invoice with name & address but no GST amount. Has anyone gone to JB & got a proper tax invoice?
Yes its possible, just get them to reissue + name.
Agreed with 2jzzzzz, 100% you will be rejected. I bought a 7D + 24-70L lens from JB. Forgot my name on invoice. got $0GST back when I left for Japan.
I've gone there multiple times, even went to different branch and was told to get a manual invoice (that has name & address handwritten) but does not have GST paid. Nothing else can be done by them according to the staff. Wondered why calling the receipt tax invoice when there's no GST ('tax') on it.
Print off this page(ato.gov.au) and go and see the store manager at the store where you bought it.
jb hifi isn't required to provide op with an invoice with their name unless op has an abn. however, the invoice should state the amount of gst that was included.
your GST-registered customers need a tax invoice from you to be able to claim a credit for the GST in the purchase price.
@whooah1979: Read further down. There is a list of 7 requirements for all tax invoices, and then:
In addition, tax invoices for sales of $1,000 or more need to show:
the buyer's identity or ABN (emphasis added)
As noted in the OP, having the Buyer's name on the invoice is only a requirement for the TRS when the price is over $1k (presumably for this reason). It is unclear if OP's purchase was for more than $1k or not, but if it was he can obviously demand this.
but if it was he can obviously demand this.
they can refuse op's request unless op can show them that op the entity on the invoice is registered for gst.
@whooah1979: I am not an expert on this by any means, but the ATO page does not say that.
What are you basing that statement on?
What are you basing that statement on?
the are only two reasons for an entity to be registered for gst 1; collect revenue for the states 2; claim input tax credits. i don't know what op purchased, but it doesn't sound like op meets the requirements to have all those details on the invoice.
@whooah1979: This has nothing to do with whether the OP is registered for GST or not.
The ATO page linked above says tax invoices for sales over $1k must note "the purchaser’s identity, such as name, or ABN".
You are saying this only applies if the purchaser is registered for GST. On what basis are you making this claim?
@whooah1979: That says exactly the same thing as the ATO site:
A valid tax invoice for taxable sales that total $1,000 or more must contain:
• the words ‘tax invoice’ stated prominently
• the name of the supplier
• the ABN of the supplier
• the name of the recipient
• the address or ABN of the recipient
• the date of issue of the tax invoice
• the quantity of the goods or the extent of the services sold
• a brief description of the things sold, and
• the total price of the sale (including GST).
We are going nowhere here, goodnight.
I wouldn't risk it. Go in and ask them to print you a proper one for TRS.
