anyone been hit yet?
I paid 70 cents on a $7 card purchase..........if it were a $1000 card purchase id be pissed!
Looks like they're still only targeting anything valued over $1k at the border. Anything else you buy from Ebay etc will have the 10% added in at purchase. If your using COMC mailbox as Westoz said, there's also now a state tax of 10% added to anything shipped to them as well. They're getting us from all sides now!
I've cleared out my COMC mailbox because their fees were getting too much anyway (and I got stung customs and duties on the parcel because it was massive...ggrrrr!) and am now using a mailbox service one of the guys on Blowout has just started offering...way cheaper and pretty top notch so far!
Our government is not capable of setting a workflow to collect the tax on all items because that would cost too much to hire all these people. So their solution was to force the big companies to collect the money for them like eBay and Amazon, so if you buy your stuff online from small retailers, they will not collect anything for the Australian Government, so you can get away with not paying the 10% GST.
So who's this guy on Blowout offering his service? any good?
