GST - unconditional gifts
This interpretation statement provides guidance on the meaning of “unconditional gift” for GST purposes. A payment made to a GST-registered non-profit body that is an “unconditional gift” is not “consideration” for a supply of goods or services and is not subject to GST. It updates and replaces previous items and provides examples to demonstrate how the law applies.
