# GST

Gift Collective is not GST registered. This means you cannot claim GST on any expenses you have, and you must budget for any GST expenses you might incur.

### Do I need to charge GST on funds I raise?

It depends. Unconditional donations—where nothing specific is given in return—do not attract GST. Conditional payments—where the buyer gets something in return, like a product, service, or event ticket—may attract GST. The Open Collective platform is set up for both scenarios.
