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

[Michael Caines]

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.

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

 

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.
