GST affects the final capital required for kitchen projects and should be reflected in current planning.
Budgeting Actions
- Obtain fresh quotes that clearly show applicable GST.
- Update project cost sheets with current rates rather than historical numbers.
- Discuss input tax credit eligibility with your finance or tax advisor.
- Compare options on a tax-inclusive basis.
- Maintain a small contingency for any further adjustments.
Transparent, up-to-date quoting prevents budget overruns caused by outdated tax assumptions. This applies across equipment categories, with particular attention to items that have seen rate changes.
