What it costsWhat GST registration costs with GST Register, and the price of everything around it.
GST registration costs $119 + GST, which is $130.90 including GST, as a flat fee lodged by a registered BAS agent, and the fee is tax deductible. Rideshare registration is the same price. Backdating is an optional $25 + GST and adding PAYG withholding registration in the same lodgement is $30 + GST. Cancelling a GST registration is $139 + GST, with an optional $20 + GST to close PAYG withholding at the same time. There is no subscription and nothing to renew: the one recurring product on this site, BAS calculator and reminders, is bought separately at $9 + GST a month and cancelled whenever you like.
$119 + GST, nothing until the last step. Fill in the whole form and see the total before you pay anything.
Register for GSTWhat is includedWhat the GST registration fee buys, from the ABN lookup to the confirmation email.
The fee buys a registered BAS agent setting your start date, reporting cycle and any backdating correctly the first time, a 4-business-hour standard turnaround, and a person on the phone when something is unclear. Those three answers are where self-lodged registrations go wrong, and fixing a wrong start date or cycle later means a second lodgement and sometimes a GST bill nobody planned for. Here is what happens between paying and confirmation.
- We look your business up. Type your ABN or business name and we pull the record from the Australian Business Register, fill in your details, and tell you at once if GST is already registered, in which case there is nothing to pay.
- An agent checks four answers. Turnover, start date, cash or accruals, and reporting cycle. "Not sure" is a fine answer: Registered BAS Agent 25972850 reviews every one before anything is lodged, including whether backdating actually benefits you.
- We lodge with the ATO. Direct, as your registered agent. You are emailed the moment it is confirmed, usually within 4 business hours, and the tax invoice for our fee comes with it.
- You get the effective date, and support. Your confirmation names the date GST takes effect. From then you add 10% to taxable sales and lodge a BAS each cycle, and 1800 546 526 stays open to you at every step, before and after.

Start and let us checkEvery priceThe full GST Register price list, + GST and including GST.
Nine lines cover everything we sell and everything we give away: three services, three add-ons, one subscription and the free tools. Prices are quoted + GST because most customers are, or are about to be, registered and will claim the GST on our fee back as a credit on their first BAS; the including-GST column is what your card is charged. Add-ons are only available with the service they attach to, and the free tools need no account.

Register for GSTWorked totalsWhat you actually pay at checkout for the common combinations.
The most common order is a plain registration at $130.90; the most complete is registration with backdating and PAYG withholding at $191.40, both including GST. The GST in that total, $17.40, comes back to you as a credit on your first BAS once you are registered, because our fee is a business purchase with a tax invoice attached, and the $174 net is a deductible cost of managing your tax affairs. Here is the full combination line by line, with the other totals underneath.
The cancellation equivalent is $139 + $20 = $159, plus $15.90 GST, so $174.90 is charged. Our tax invoice is emailed with your confirmation.

See my totalWhich add-onsBackdating, PAYG withholding and cancellation: when each one is worth paying for.
Two of the three add-ons depend on the facts of your business rather than on preference, so here is how to decide each one before you reach the form.
Backdating, $25 + GST.
Worth it when the GST credits on purchases since the backdated date outweigh the GST you will owe on sales in the same window. Backdating lets you claim credits on what you bought, but you also owe GST on what you sold. Say you bought $8,800 of equipment in March: backdating to 1 March recovers $800 of credits. If you also made $33,000 of sales in that window, you now owe $3,000 on them and are $2,200 worse off. The ATO allows backdating up to four years. Our agents check the arithmetic before lodging, the backdating calculator does it here, and the full guide covers the rules.
PAYG withholding registration, $30 + GST.
Required before you make the first payment you have to withhold from, usually the first pay run for an employee. The ATO requires PAYG withholding registration before that first payment, even if the amount withheld turns out to be nil. Adding it to your GST lodgement means one application, one confirmation and one date to remember instead of two. If you have no employees and do not pay contractors who have not quoted an ABN, you do not need it yet, and it can be added later. PAYG withholding versus instalments explains the difference, because the two are often confused.
GST cancellation, $139 + GST.
For a business that has stopped, sold or restructured, or whose turnover has fallen under $75,000 and wants out of BAS lodgement. The ATO requires cancellation within 21 days of selling or closing a business or changing its structure, and the cancellation date cannot be earlier than a date on which you were still trading on a GST-registered basis. If you also registered for PAYG withholding, the $20 + GST add-on closes that role from the same date. Cancel a GST registration is the service page and closing your business and GST covers the final BAS.

Register for GSTPaying and refundsHow payment works, what is deductible, and where to read next.
Payment is taken by card through Stripe at the last step of the form, after you have seen the total including GST, and the fee is refunded in full if we cannot complete your lodgement. Once the ATO has confirmed the registration or cancellation, the service is complete and the fee is not refundable. Fees paid to a registered agent to manage your tax affairs are deductible, so the after-tax cost sits below the sticker price. There are no other charges: the only extras are the add-ons you choose, and the BAS reminders are a separate decision made separately.
Not sure you need to register at all? Start with do I need to register for GST? and the threshold calculator. If you are over the line, crossing the $75,000 threshold explains the 21-day clock. Rideshare drivers have their own page: Uber and rideshare GST registration. Our terms of service and TPB client disclosures set out the fees and refund terms in full, and the free GST status lookup tells you in seconds whether you are already registered, in which case there is nothing to buy.

Register for GSTQuestionsOther questions.
What does the fee buy?
Our fee buys a registered BAS agent setting the start date, reporting cycle and any backdating correctly the first time, a 4-business-hour standard turnaround, and a human on the phone when something is unclear, plus the fee itself is tax deductible. It also buys a review: if your ABN is already registered for GST, the form tells you so and there is nothing to pay.
Are your fees tax deductible?
Yes: the ATO treats expenses incurred in managing your tax affairs, such as lodging through a registered agent, as deductible, so the after-tax cost is lower than the sticker price. If you are GST-registered you also claim the GST on our fee as a credit on your BAS, which is why the table shows both the + GST and including-GST figures. Keep the tax invoice we email you.
Are there any other charges?
No. The prices on this page are all-inclusive for the service shown, and the only extras are the optional add-ons you choose: backdating and PAYG withholding registration on a registration, or PAYG withholding cancellation on a cancellation. The one recurring charge on this site is the optional BAS calculator and reminder service at $9 + GST a month, which is bought separately and you can cancel anytime, self-serve.
Is it free to register for GST with the ATO?
The ATO does not charge a fee for GST registration. You can register yourself through Online services for business, by phone, or on the ATO's form, and the ATO's page lists those routes alongside registering through a registered tax or BAS agent. What you pay us for is the agent: the start date, backdating and reporting cycle checked before lodgement, a 4-business-hour turnaround, and a person on 1800 546 526 if anything is unclear.
Why pay $119 when my accountant can do it?
Often your accountant can, at their own hourly or fixed rate, and if you already have one it is worth asking. Our fee is flat, published, and the same for a sole trader, a company or a trust, with the lodgement usually confirmed within 4 business hours. Many customers use us because they have no accountant yet, or because the registration is urgent, as it is for rideshare drivers who must be registered before their first trip.
What if my business is already registered for GST?
Then there is nothing to pay. The form looks your ABN up on the Australian Business Register as its first step and tells you straight away if GST is already registered, and the free GST status lookup does the same for any business. If a past registration was cancelled and you need it back, that is a new registration at the standard fee.
Do companies, trusts or partnerships pay more?
No. The fee is $119 + GST for any entity type. The registration attaches to the entity's own ABN, not to you personally, and the form asks for the details of whoever is authorised to act for it: a director, trustee or partner. If you run more than one business under one ABN, one GST registration, and one fee, covers all of them.
How do I get a tax invoice for your fee?
It is emailed with your confirmation, showing our ABN 53 630 861 219 and the GST component separately, so it meets the ATO's tax invoice requirements for a purchase over $82.50. If you are registered for GST you can claim that GST back on your first BAS, within the four-year limit for credits. Accounting for GST credits explains how.
