If you deal with overseas suppliers, be sure to let them know you are GST registered before GST on low value imports comes into effect on 1 December 2019.

For business to business transactions, an overseas supplier can zero rate your purchase.

If you are charged GST in error, you have two options:

Get the GST back from the supplier.

Get the supplier to send you a tax invoice so you can claim the GST back.

Any item costing $1000 or less will be a low value import and the GST will be collected by the supplier, provided the total supplies to this country amount to $60,000 or more per annum.

There will, of course, be suppliers who are not registered for GST, particularly those whose sales to this country are less than $60,000 per year.
