Unless otherwise specified, the Website and associated services are for your personal and own business use.

You also agree you will not transmit any viruses, malware, worms, etc. of any kind and that you will not upload, post, host or transmit unsolicited material or messages.

APPOINTMENT AS YOUR AGENT

Your submission of a claim for a GST refund will be via registration with the Australian Business Register (ABR). We will submit a registration with the ABR on your behalf based on the information that you provide to us via the Website in Step 2 (section “Organisation Information Form”). You undertake to provide us with true and accurate information as requested in the Website. You also undertake to inform us of any significant changes to your particulars at any time. You also appoint us to be your Tax Agent in the registration of your business with the ABR and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). You also consent to having our business address listed for the ATO / ABR to send notices.

NIL RETURNS

Once you are registered for GST only status with the ABR, we are required to file quarterly activity statements on your behalf. In the absence of the submission of tax invoices / receipts by you, we will assume that you had no activities in Australia for GST reporting purposes for the quarter. You must notify us if there was an event that would trigger a reportable event in the quarterly Business Activity Statement.

We reserve the right to cancel your registration with the ABR at any time.

PAYMENT

If our application to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) on your behalf for the GST refund is successful, the refund will be sent by the ATO to our trust account. Our undertaking will be that we will send the instruction to our remitting agent to remit your GST refund back to the nominated bank account of belonging to your business within 2 weeks of receiving the refund from the ATO. Our standard fees in providing our services to you to reclaim the GST from the ATO back to your business will be 25% of the gross refund we receive back from the ATO in relation to the claim made your business that we submitted on your behalf. The remainder of the 75% of the gross refund will then be remitted back to your nominated bank account in the respective local currency pertaining to where your business is domiciled. GST Recoveries Australia uses the National Bank of Australia Ltd as its foreign currency exchange and remitting agent. The foreign currency conversion to your local currency will be done at the prevailing spot rate provided by National Bank of Australia Ltd.
