GST on low value imported goods

From 1 July 2018, goods with a customs value of AUD1000 or less (low value goods) may attract the Goods and Services Tax (GST) at the point of sale if imported from overseas by consumers in Australia.
There will be no changes to:
  • the AUD1000 threshold for reporting and collection of duties and taxes at the border
  • border clearance processes
  • the flow of goods across borders
  • current import requirements for tobacco, tobacco products or alcoholic beverages.
Businesses with sales (subject to Australian GST) of AUD75000 or more to consumers in Australia within a 12 month period, will need to register with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), collect GST at the point of sale and remit that GST to the ATO.
This includes businesses that are:
  • merchants who sell goods to consumers
  • electronic distribution platform operators
  • re-deliverers
There are rules that determine which businesses will need to register for, and charge GST. Further information on GST registration for non-residents of Australia is available from the ATO website.
The ATO is communicating, educating and assisting affected businesses to comply with the measure and ensuring specific information is available for transporters and customs brokers; consumers; and businesses all of which may be impacted by these changes.
Further information about GST on low value goods is available on the ATO website and also available in Chinese.

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...
