Are NDIS services always GST-free?

A practical answer from the Affordable Bookkeeper knowledge centre.

Do not assume that every service paid with NDIS funding is automatically GST-free. The supply must satisfy the applicable conditions. Review the service, agreement and relevant rules before choosing a GST code.

What this means in practice

A provider may offer different types of support or sell items with different tax treatment. Keep the agreement and supporting information that explain why a particular treatment has been used. Bookkeeping should also distinguish invoices, payment receipts and adjustments so the accounting file can be reconciled to the service system.

Your next steps

  • Check the service and agreement
  • Confirm the GST conditions
  • Keep supporting records
  • Reconcile invoices and receipts
