GST Example 2
GST where ownership changes (the simplistic equation) In this example you must add GST to the price you sell your product to the distributor and return that value in your next return. Your distributor can claim back this GST amount if they are registered and must return the GST on the final sale price to the consumer 
Example of Ownership Changing         Amounts GST
Exclusive GST Price to Distributor $ 69.56 $10.44
Exclusive GST Distributor Margin $ 17.39 $2.61
Your Return shows sales of $ 80.00 $10.44
Your Distributor shows sales of $100.00 $13.04
Your Distributor shows Inputs of $ 80.00 $10.44
Net GST your distributor pays IRD $2.61
 
From this example your distributor may also claim the input costs for their other expenses like vehicle costs, telephone, hosting costs etc. Some of these costs must be substantiated or claimed to a maximum level. 
When your Distributor is not GST registered then they could be disadvantaged because they can not claim back the inputs that the registered Distributor can. Conversely they will not be paid bonuses or overide payments that include GST as will commission payments not contain GST.
