Things to know when deciding whether or not to register for GST as a freelancer:
The nature of your services: Some services are exempt from GST, while others are subject to GST at varying rates.
Your current location: The registration threshold for GST varies by state.
Your competition: If your competitors are GST registered, you may be at a competitive disadvantage if you are not. Your plans for the future: If you intend to develop your business or enter new markets, you should register for GST now to avoid having to do so later.
