Successful grant applicants with an ABN who are also registered for GST must issue Arts Victoria with a tax invoice in accordance with the Australian Taxation Office requirements before the grant can be paid.

When completing the budget section of your funding application, please note that if you are registered for GST, your expenditure and income should be exclusive of GST. If you are not registered for GST your expenditure should include the GST to be paid.
Paying tax
Grants paid by Arts Victoria may be considered part of your income in a financial year and may therefore be subject to tax. You must determine your own taxation responsibilities.
