Only the year or quarter after you made your first $30,000. Meaning not for the first $30,000 but for money made the next year or quarter. I am pretty sure this is correct or I will owe some money from my first year as well. Which was about 4 years ago and since I have done a tax return each year and have not been charged GST for the first year, I think that is how it works.

So to answer the question if you have been operating for two years and made $30,000 or more in the first year you would be liable for GST only on services in the second year.
