Does Sale of Fixed Asset - Motor Car, attracts GST ?


This query is : Open 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Goods and Services Tax (GST) applies when a business sells a motor car for more than its book value, especially if the business isn't involved in car sales. The consensus is that GST is generally applicable if the car was used for business purposes. Importantly, the tax is typically charged on the profit margin (sale price minus purchase price), not the entire sale price, particularly if input GST was claimed.
