Other sources income and GST:
• Not all "Income from Other Sources" is a GST supply. Interest on deposits or loans is an exempt supply (included in aggregate turnover for the threshold, but no GST). Dividends, gifts and winnings (except specified) aren't supplies.
• Rent from commercial property (if shown as Other Sources, e.g. a sub-letting tenant) is a taxable supply.
• Commission income reported in Other Sources by mistake is a service and taxable.
• So check the nature of the income, not the income-tax head, to decide GST.
