The deadline to make changes is 28 October 2017 • The ATO generally process GST refunds reasonably promptly • RFM will contact defaulting Growers after the payment due date of 31 October 2017 as accounts must be maintained in good order for ongoing scheme participation • Reminder – You must pay your invoice in order to remain a scheme member. RFM is not funding the amount equivalent to the GST refund Notes: 1. The GST submission date reflects the deadline for submitting the activity statement under each reporting frequency. Depending on your situation, you may only be able to claim the GST refund back once the invoice has been paid. If so, the GST submission date may be the following reporting period based on your situation 2. The GST submission date for an annual return is the same date as the lodgment of your income tax return, or 28 February following the annual tax period 9 if you are not required to lodge an income tax return
