Church Treasurer’s Handbook.
The role of a treasurer is rewarding and challenging. There are many responsibilities associated with it, but not always an adequate supply of resources or people to assist with what is required.
This guide has been specifically designed to assist treasurers in attending to their responsibilities. It can be used by new treasurers so that the transition to their role happens in the most efficient and effective manner. It can also be used by current treasurers who simply need assistance with their responsibilities

Church GST Handbook
The GST is a “goods and services tax” at the rate of 10%. It is not a tax on income, but rather a tax on the consumption of goods, services and other things such as creation of rights in Australia.
The GST has applied in Australia from 1 July 2000. On the introduction of the GST, the sales tax system was repealed.
This handbook contains a wealth of information for church treasurers that will help them administer this comprehensive tax. This resource is provided FREE for Queensland Baptist Churches (subscribers). You will be required to enter your login details.
