*The TAC maximum fee includes a 10% allowance for GST for items which TAC believes are taxable supplies. If you are a provider not registered for GST:
- You are not legally permitted to charge GST
- You should indicate on all invoices submitted your status as 'not registered for GST purposes'
- The TAC will only reimburse you an amount which excludes the GST component for items billed where the maximum fee includes a 10% allowance for GST
If you are not registered for GST please state on all invoices the TAC item number listed for providers not registered.
