Not True. If I am a client, I just want to know how much I need to pay to you for your service. I am no care whether you have GST or not. You can't tell me that your service fee is $100, because you have registered GST, so you want $110. as a client, I will think your service will cost me $110, not just $100.
Your income will not increase to $50000 to $55000, because of you have registered GST.
If you have not registered GST, you can not ask the 10% GST from your customers. When you quote your service to customers, you can mention you do not have GST. On your invoice, you need also indicate that this business has not registered GST.
If you have registered GST, you have to report your businness progress and repay the GST to ATO every season, it will increase your business reporting time. It is not suggested to register GST if the totall income is less than $75000.
Without GST, you still can claim the money you spent for your business. Your total income - your expense =your taxable income.

Well, actually to the client, the cost is still $100, coz the client can claim the $10 back from ATO as input tax
credit -- provided they are registered for GST of course.

Agreed, as far as I know, if your client is a business, it doesn't matter if you charge GST or not, because they can claim it back from ato.
Very good topic! One more question about GST:
'You must register for GST if you run a business or other 'enterprise' and your GST turnover is $75,000 or more (for non-profit organisations the threshold is $150,000 or more). It is your responsibility to register if your turnover exceeds the threshold, or is likely to exceed it.'
Is the $75000 for your whole incoming or only money you owned from this ABN?
Thanks!
