Hey guys.
I've got a serious ATO question.
I'm registered for GST and freelance in my line of work. I've done no work this quarter, but did buy a laptop.
I paid cash, I also know the person who sold it to me. Anyway the invoice he gave me was for an "proformer" and said invoice, however it was for $2000 more than what I spent. He thought I would do this for a normal tax return and not for GST. I submitted my BAS statement and got a call yesterday asking me to provide the invoice.
The thing is, if I provide the invoice will they call the store and will I be caught or will the invoice be enough?
I know I did wrong, but like I said, did no work for 3 months and living off my savings, and the extra $200 I was going to get back will be a huge help.
I'm really worried
