I notice there is talk about trying to levy GST on imports worth less than $1000 using the argument that it is bad for local business having to compete on unequal terms with overseas companies who sell on the internet.
Do Australian companies exporting send the goods GST free in the same way and, if so, is it levied by the overseas countries at their rate.
Are local businesses really suffering through the current GST policy on imports?
Any facts or thoughts?
Cheers,
Jim
