Changes to GST on low value imports: what it means for you

GST on low value goods imported into Australia commences 1 July 2018.
Low value imported goods are physical goods, excluding tobacco, tobacco products or alcoholic beverages, with a customs value of AUD$1,000 or less.
From 1 July, overseas businesses that sell these goods to consumers in Australia will need to register for GST if they meet the $75,000 GST registration threshold, collect the GST on sales and remit the GST to the ATO.
This change also means that Australian based retailers that drop-ship goods will need to charge GST from 1 July.
The changes ensure that goods imported by consumers in Australia receive the same tax treatment as goods purchased domestically.
If you're an Australian GST-registered business you should not be charged GST when purchasing these goods for your business use if you provide your supplier:
  • your ABN and
  • a statement that you are registered for GST.
If you're charged GST incorrectly, speak to your supplier. Note that not all receipts that have GST applied will be tax invoices.They will need to contain an ABN to be considered a tax invoice. Overseas suppliers may be registered in the simplified GST system and have an ARN instead of an ABN. More information is provided below under information for business purchasers.

Has the cost of any computer software acquired been treated correctly?

Risk Where a lump sum payment is made for the acquisition of a software licence, it will be accepted for tax purposes that the expenditure is revenue where the useful life of the software is expected to be less than two years. Where the expected useful life of the software is longer the correct tax treatment will depend on the circumstances, as set out in the explanation below. Mitigation Identify all payments for the acquisition of new software licences, and distinguish between regular periodical payments and lump sum payments. For any lump sum payments establish what the useful life of the software is expected to be for the business. For proprietors and partnerships where the expenditure is capitalised and the expected useful life is more than two years, any amortisation is not allowable as a revenue deduction, and a claim should be made for capital allowances. For companies the appropriate tax treatment will depend on the exact nature of the software involved. Effective from 6 ...

Can Freight Be Included With Inventory Cost?

The cost of a business's inventory goes well beyond just the wholesale cost of goods on the shelves. The business has to get those goods to the shelves in the first place -- and that means paying freight charges. In most cases, the freight charges involved in acquiring inventory can be rolled into the cost of that inventory as reported on the company's balance sheet.  Freight In The Internal Revenue Service says a business may include in its inventory cost all the "ordinary and necessary" expenditures of acquiring goods and getting them ready for sale. That specifically includes freight in, or the costs of delivering goods from a supplier to the business. If the company makes products rather than buying them for resale, the freight-in costs of raw materials and parts also can be included in inventory cost.  Freight Out Once a business has goods in its possession, it can't include any further freight charges in inventory cost. For example, if a compan...
