[AusNOG] GST Question for sending things to NZ from AU

[McDonald Richards]

Yep - be ready to pay NZ GST - the courier should have sent you an NZ
customs declaration (or will be doing so as soon as it lands in NZ).

 

Normally this will be charged by the courier once they have confirmation on
the value and fees and I think the cut-off is around $750 NZD. Below this
and you'll fly under the radar.

 

Not sure how to avoid paying the AU GST on it-if you pay it through a
company you just get it back as part of an input tax credit anyway right?

Hey all,

 

We have a customer in NZ, and we sold them a router for a site in Auckland.
I think they paid for it via their Australian bank account - which means
they paid Australian GST.

 

We shipping it to NZ via TNT.

 

What I am wondering is - when it lands in NZ, do they again have to pay NZ
GST?

 

When I buy things from say - Singapore, I pay it ex-GST and then Fedex
demands the GST before they release it to me here.

 

Is it the same with NZ?  Should we have sold it to them ex-GST in Australia
because the router is leaving the country?

 

Soooo confusing.
