Carbon credits

Carbon-credit issuance, transfer and sale are excluded transactions from 23 November 2022.

Source checked · 11 October 2026

Key requirements

The exclusion includes digital representations and NEA credits, so consideration for the credit itself is not subject to GST. Before that date, non-NEA credits had taxable-service treatment while NEA issuance was already excluded. Related exchange, broking and legal services remain standard-rated unless they independently qualify as international services. Overseas credit purchases after the change are outside imported-service GST, but related fees need separate analysis. Identify the credit and the fee as distinct items. A blockchain representation does not transform a credit into ordinary taxable goods, and the new exclusion should not be retroactively applied to earlier transactions.
