Australian import tax

more_vert
Looking for clarification on the Australian 2018 import tax changes, effective July 1 and how it will impact on a MD purchase.
If i commit to a drop BEFORE July 1 but the item ships AFTER july 1, will I be stung with this new tax?
cheers

Too much manpower and cost for the government to regulate. They are trying to put it on the companies to regulate. Simple fact is if they just ignore the Australian government they won't do squat because they don't have the resources to. It was yet just another half arsed plan from the useless muppets. Same thing happened with this whole regulate and record everyone's internet history to prosecute illegal downloading there just isn't the resources or the manpower.

I think it’s a wait and see game mate. Nobody’s really sure. My understanding is it’s on the vendor to collect the import tax, the cost to be added at checkout. So far the only place I’ve been charged this tax has been on ebay. I can only really see large companies that might attract srutiny from the ATO playing ball but we will see in time I guess. I hope MD doesn’t start collecting. I won’t use ebay now because of the added cost.
