How are creators taxed in Australia?
You must register for GST if your business has a GST turnover of $75,000 or more (non-profits $150,000), and within 21 days of becoming aware you will go over. Below the threshold registration is optional.

If you register for GST below the threshold, you must still include GST in the price of most things you sell, claim GST credits on most business purchases, and lodge activity statements reporting your sales, GST on sales and GST credits.
