About NZ GST
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a consumption tax charged at 15% on most goods and services in New Zealand.
If your business has (or expects) taxable turnover of more than $60,000 per year, you must register for GST with IRD.
To add GST: multiply the net price by 1.15.
To remove GST: divide the gross price by 1.15.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the NZ GST rate?
New Zealand GST is 15%. It applies to most goods and services. Some items are zero-rated (e.g. certain food, financial services, exported goods).
Do I need to register for GST?
You must register for GST if your taxable turnover exceeds $60,000 in any 12-month period. You can also choose to register voluntarily if your turnover is lower.
How do I remove GST from a price?
Divide the GST-inclusive price by 1.15. The result is the net (ex-GST) price. The GST component is the difference between the gross and net prices.
Who pays GST?
GST is ultimately borne by the final consumer. GST-registered businesses collect it on behalf of IRD and can claim back GST paid on business purchases (GST credits).
