GST and tax essentials for healthcare practitioners

If you are a healthcare professional running your own practice or providing services independently, and you are registered or planning to register for GST, this webinar is for you. It is especially relevant for private practice nurses, in-home carers, allied health practitioners such as physiotherapists, psychologists, occupational therapists, podiatrists, and other self-employed or small business healthcare providers.

We will explain how GST applies to different types of medical and health services, helping you determine which services are GST-free and which are subject to GST. You will also learn about the benefits of GST registration, how your business structure and contracts can affect GST claims, and the deductions you may be eligible for, including professional development, travel, and home office expenses. Additionally, we will introduce our Receipt Hub app, designed to make managing and recording your expenses easier and more efficient.

By the end of the session, you will have a clear understanding of your GST obligations, available deductions, and essential record-keeping requirements, giving you the confidence to manage your healthcare business efficiently and compliantly.
