Well played
Shame we waited so long to pick a team on form, we lost the opportunity to break the dynasty and until we win 5 or 6 in a row the trauma will remain

I think I missed the important bit about a young child. Congrats!

Apologies for self quote, but I saw this On finder.com.au

The core GST requirements remain unchanged. Businesses are only required to register for GST if their annual turnover from selling to Australians is over $75,000.

I'd say many forum favourites that don't have mass appeal won't be hit?

Only required to register if over $75,000. Always required to pay GST. Either at point of sale or at border.

Carmina or whoever would only have to sell 140 pairs of shoes to reach $75k. @Foxhound nearly buys that many himself

This will mean I have record credit card debt from purchases this month
But also that everything I buy and don't need is effectively 10% cheaper.

Guessing no one is interested in some black jeans:

1) Dior Homme: size 27, 19 cm hem, unique "combine" raw denim with a satin fabric at the top from the Hedi Slimane era. From memory used once.

2) Blackbarrett by Neil Barrett: size 28-29, raw denim with black waxed strips, made in Japan. Hardly used.

So with Amazon is there a reason they are treated as a single entity, rather than an 'Amazon' and a bunch of re-sellers whom they provide a sales platform to, but might not necessarily ever hit the $75k target to register for GST?

I guess the crux of my question is why not let the re-sellers sell from the US site and let the gov't collect at the border? I'm sure I'm missing something in all this, never mind the fact I think it's a case of the Aus gov't cutting off its nose to spite its face.

A plug for DHL. Ordered some goodies from Norway (cavour.co) on the weekend. It shipped on Monday nite and was delivered this morning (~60 hours door-to-door).

BTW, Cavour offers free delivery on all purchases so now is a good time to buy prior to the GST kicking in.

As long as GST is paid Gov/ATO doesn’t care by who or whom. I’m not sure what you are saying but amazons internal arrangemts are of no interest to oz gov as long as GST is paid/collected before goods or service in customers hands.

Any chance of buying your place in the ToJ queue?

I guess what I'm saying is why doesn't Amazon let resellers sell to Oz on the US platform and leave it up to the gov't to collect GST prior to collection of the parcel? I understand Amazon themselves can't due to turnover.

Probably too much of a headfsck at a guess, coupled with a bit of up yours to the gov't.
