A GST-registered developer in Victoria sells a new apartment for $750,000 including GST and does not use the margin scheme. What is the GST component of the price?
Correct Answer
D) $68,182
When the sale price includes GST, the GST component is calculated as: Sale Price ÷ 11 = $750,000 ÷ 11 = $68,182. This represents the 1/11th GST component that must be remitted to the ATO. The GST-exclusive price would be $681,818.
