    hi ddzx, hope you're having a nice long weekend and that you can spare a couple of minutes to clear this up for me:

    so I'm still working on my tax... now I'm a bit confused with GST, do traders need to register? I've been reading on the subject but I just can't make sense of it.

    I know if the business turnover (gross income) is over $75,000 registration is required, but what exactly is the turnover, just the sales?
    I found this formula in google: gross income = sales - COGS, is this right?

    My sales were over 350,000 this year but my COGS was higher incurring in a loss as I explained last time.
    Currently, I account for brokerage as a deduction / cost

    Do you know of any resource (book or web page) that explains this in a very simple way or can you explain it in plain english?
    thank you
