Australian e-commerce GST reforms 1 year on
Just over a year ago Australian goods and services tax (GST) began to apply to sales of low value goods (AUD $1,000 or less) that are imported by consumers into Australia.
One year on, Avalara and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) are pleased to present an information session about the goods and services tax law that has applied to sales of low value imported goods into Australia.
The session will provide practical information to help impacted businesses understand what they must do.
The session will cover key elements of the changes including:
- Which international businesses are impacted
- What the documentation requirements and Australian border processes are
- How to interact with the Australian Taxation Office to register, lodge regular GST returns and make payments
- The compliance approach of the ATO and how we can help businesses comply
