2018 Australian Goods and Services Tax (GST) Changes
As of 1 July 2018, Australian law now requires New Zealand Post to charge Australian goods and services tax (GST) on sales of low value goods to consumers in Australia.
This means that GST will apply at the point of sale in the same way it does when you buy goods from a business in Australia. GST will also generally apply to shipping or insurance relating to the purchase.
For goods imported in a consignment over A$1,000, any GST, customs duty and clearance charges will be charged to you at the border under existing processes.
If you’re ABN registered, please supply your ABN number to us and your account will be adjusted accordingly.
You can read more about this tax change on the Australian Taxation Office's website.
