The Rotary Club of Yeppoon Inc. ABN 94 621 079 599, the
organisers of the
Capricorn Coat Art Festival is no longer a GST registered organisation. Accordingly it DOES NOT collect
GST.
Where a work of art is sold from a GST registered artist the
artist will be responsible for remittance of the GST on the supply to the
Australian Taxation Office.
The Rotary Club of Yeppoon will act as an agent in the sale of
art worksand all artworks sold will transfer directly from the artist to the
purchaser and monies less commission will be remitted to the artist.
It is therefore imperative that GST registered artists ensure that
they include the GST inclusive price when advising of the sale price of their
goods. The Rotary Club of Yeppoon will retain its commission from the GST
free component of the price and forward the balance plus the GST from the sale
to the artist for remittance to the Australian Taxation Office.
