That depends entirely on company policy as I explained earlier.
If its policy to require one, then yes, its necessary. And its extremely common.
Is it 'legally necessary?' Of course not. If its a $2000 job and you have no idea what the contractor's GST status is then fine. The fact of the matter remains, most major companies simply DO NOT CARE. They want to pay what the job costs plus GST. It keeps their accounting and tracking simple.
