The 'free 18%' shortcut
bro just add 18% GST on your invoices even without registering 😅 clients never check, its free money. i've been doing it a year, one client even claims it back so everyone wins

Every number, and what to sayWhere this came from
Rates, invoices and input tax credit
A lesson in GST for freelancers. The drill teaches the tell; the lesson teaches the rule underneath it.
