The current Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate in Australia is 10% on most goods, services, and other items sold or consumed in the country. This rate has been in place since the GST was introduced in 2000.

There is a proposal under consideration to increase the GST rate from 10% to 15%, which could take effect potentially in late 2025. This proposed increase also aims to expand the range of taxable goods and services to include some items that are currently exempt, such as fresh food, health services, childcare, and education-related services. However, as of now, the GST rate remains at 10%.

Thus, the standard GST rate in Australia as of 2025 is 10% unless the proposed changes are formally enacted.
