How does the National Solar Schools Program work in terms of GST?
We work out the amount of the National Solar Schools Program grant for which you are eligible, for example, $40 000. This is a GST exclusive amount. You make a claim to us for $40 000 plus any GST. The GST may be $4000 (as you are being charged GST on all components of your project) or less (if, for example, one of your suppliers or tradespeople is not registered for GST). When you make the claim for funding you will base this on quotes that are inclusive of GST and the GST amount payable. We will pay you the amount exclusive of GST plus a 10% allowance for GST even if some items do not attract GST. It is your schools responsibility to ensure that tax obligations with regard to GST are fulfilled. For more information visit the Australian Taxation Office website or contact them on 13 28 66.
