Go figure...the paperwork alone will cost more to Aus than it brings in. Only if they supply over $75,000 worth of goods per year. (That's my reading of it but I am no tax expert). From the ATO website   Quote   You must register for GST in Australia if: you carry on an enterprise your GST turnover from sales that are connected with Australia and made in the course of your enterprise, meets or exceeds the registration turnover threshold of A$75,000 (or A$150,000, if you are a non-profit body) If you are an electronic distribution platform operator or re-deliverer and are responsible for GST on a sale, that sale is treated as being made by you instead of the merchant. These sales will be counted towards your GST turnover, instead of the merchant's GST turnover. This means that if the value of your sales of low value goods imported into Australia by consumers (plus any other sales you make that are connected with Australia) is A$75,000 or more in a 12-month period, you need to register for GST. You do not count sales towards your GST turnover if they are not connected with Australia. This includes sales that GST does not apply to under the new law because the purchaser is not a consumer or because the goods are not low value goods. If the customer pays a price including shipping, this will typically form part of the price when you are calculating the GST on the sale. Therefore, generally you should include shipping costs in the value of your sales when you are considering if you reach the GST turnover threshold. Jim VK7JH MMedit
