Running an Airbnb and thinking about GST registration? π
A recent Inland Revenue statement has clarified that no GST can be claimed for goods and services costing $10,000 or less (excluding GST) purchased before GST registration and later used in a taxable activity π°
This may apply if you've recently started hosting and purchased items such as furniture, linen, kitchenware, cleaning supplies, software or undertook renovations before becoming GST registered π
The rules can be complex, so it's important to understand what GST you may be able to claim and what records you'll need to keep π
