AU Australia property term
GST Margin Scheme
Australia-wide
Plain-English definition
A method an eligible GST-registered seller may use to calculate GST on the margin for a taxable property sale rather than on the full sale price.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
Use generally requires written agreement before settlement. A buyer cannot claim a GST credit for GST included in a purchase price calculated under the margin scheme.
