2000

In the lead up to the introduction of the GST on 1 July 2000, Resthaven finance and accounting staff were required to resolve numerous issues.

Previously, as a public benevolent institution, Resthaven was exempt from much of the previous taxation system and, for example, it benefited significantly from not paying sales tax and bank taxes. With these taxes removed, Resthaven became subject to fringe benefits and goods and services taxes.
