Australia-GST Levy on overseas purchaes. 3 holes in Hockey's plan

Recommended Posts

Looks like the low value (under $1000) GST levy on overseas purchases has a few flaws. I for one would hate it to be implemented.

Only three holes? It's one bloody great hole as far as I can see.

I hope they do bring it in, it will stop them bringing in one that actually works. This one doesn't stand a chance, what OS supplier (other than Amazon et al) is going to register? He can't make them.

10% of 0 is still zero and that is what most people will be declaring if this ever passes.

What about gifts?

Technically they shouldn't be able to tax a gift with any value as it is not a purchase made by the receiver. I am sure that wouldn't stop them though.
