Skeeve

With Fedex the out-bound shipping documentation usually gives you the opportunity to do a number of things.

Billable items are split into the following sections

Freight

Customs and duties

I pay freight charges and mark the customs and duties to be payable by the client.

Fedex contacts the client letting them know that there is an inbound shipment with $X duties and taxes owing and they provide a credit card for the payment. As there is no GST on an export shipment the whole transaction is classified as a N-T (Non reportable) transaction.

I never pay anyone else's taxes as the process for re-cooping the funds is quite arduous.

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.
