We have received a bill from our Body Corporate which, this year has decided that they will pay our Council rates and we then reimburse the Body Corporate. In doing it this way, the Body Corporate has now charged GST on the amounts it collects. But can they actually collect GST on Council rates? Or are these payments, because they are reimbursements and not actual council rate notices, considered as GST taxable? And the same with water rates, and other taxes. I thought you could not put a tax on a tax. It adds around $150 to our bills by doing it this way. It is a new entity, so this hasnt occurred before. Thanx
