About the Webinar

Small-scale property development is on the rise, often undertaken by individuals and families who don’t see themselves as “developers” but still fall within the GST net. Whether it’s a knockdown rebuild, a subdivision, or a one-off flip, determining when an enterprise is being carried on and when GST registration is required can be complex — and costly if misunderstood. This session unpacks the GST issues that small-scale developers need to navigate, including:

  • When GST registration can be required for:
    • knockdown and rebuild of a main residence into a duplex
    • subdividing the rear yard
  • the “property flipping” side hustle (GSTR 2003/3)
  • GST implications when subdividing land with a main residence to build and transfer new dwellings to family members
  • Whether the going concern exemption can be used for the sale of new residential premises
  • Tips for applying the margin scheme when GST applies to small-scale developments
  • To what extent the subdivision and sale of the family farm can attract GST
  • Whether the sale of property on capital account for income tax purposes can still be subject to GST
  • Practical examples highlighting common pitfalls and planning opportunities
