Food & Beverage ERP for Australia

Australian food labelling under the Food Standards Code requires nutrition information panels in a prescribed format, ingredient lists, allergen declarations for specified allergens (including lupin and molluscs which are not required in all jurisdictions globally), country of origin labelling with the kangaroo logo and bar chart for priority foods, and the Health Star Rating on the front of pack. The Wine Australia Act governs wine labelling and geographic indication protections. Alcohol licensing varies by state, and excise duty applies to domestically produced alcohol while customs duty applies to imported beverages.

GST on food in Australia follows detailed rules: basic food is GST-free, but prepared food, takeaway food, confectionery, and restaurant meals are taxable at 10%. The ATO GST food classification rulings create a complex distinction between taxable and GST-free items that food businesses must navigate. Export of food products is GST-free but requires compliance with the Exported Food Act and inspection by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.

Yukti provides Australian food businesses with FSANZ compliance management, food safety program documentation, and Food Safety Supervisor tracking across locations. The labelling module generates Food Standards Code compliant labels with nutrition information panels, allergen declarations for all Australian-specified allergens, country of origin labelling with kangaroo logo and bar chart, and Health Star Rating calculations. GST handling distinguishes between GST-free basic food and taxable prepared food with the detailed classification rules applied automatically. BAS preparation includes food-specific GST reporting. The export module handles Department of Agriculture export inspection requirements and export documentation. Wine and alcohol excise calculations support the complex rate structures for different beverage categories. Payroll processes the Hospitality Industry General Award with penalty rates and the Restaurant Industry Award where applicable.
