Smells like a 10% tariff on American goods shipped to Australia. Once Trump gets wind of this, he'll tell the Australian government that we're going to add 15% on all Australian goods shipped to the US. Then they' be a side deal where Australia and America will both drop these tariffs and you'll be able to buy again from Amazon. Be patient. Of course Trump won't complain about the Australian tariff on EU goods.
Brian: What's not to understand? Australia is imposing a tariff on American goods to make Australia goods more competitive in Australia. In order to have an equal and fair playing field, America could impose a similar tariff against Australian goods sold in America. Of course Trump might want 15%, higher than Australia's, just to make Australia want to stop doing it. Trump always punches harder to make a point and get his way.huh?

Good clarification.BTW, this is not specifically about American goods. Don't turn this into something is not.
No longer impractical if you make someone else do it.It's not new, but the threshold was purchases over $1000, as it was deemed impractical to retrieve amounts under that, due to the cost.
For us it was a single line on our tax return: “how much stuff did you buy and didn’t pay CA sales tax but now want to pay voluntarily”. Very practical and a low-cost appproach but I don’t know anyone who answered that question honestly... or like me I just didn’t have the supporting records didn’t feel that guessing was in the spirit of the tax code.It's not new, but the threshold was purchases over $1000, as it was deemed impractical to retrieve amounts under that, due to the cost.

From what I understand, the other mob weren't against it either.
I wish I had a big boat in the driveway and very little income because I have a big income but no boat in the driveway. The grass is always greener...
Hopefully your GST is a single rate. I once had a small business and had to collect/pay sales tax on a per county basis... and there are just too many counties and tax rates to make that practical for a business as small as ours.
But did they say if they are going to collect the Australian GST and pay it to your government?Well, good news for now. Someone on a Facebook group asked B&H if they were going to stop shipping - they have come back and said, not in the foreseeable future. Never say never, but that does seem good.
Good attitude!In reality, I don't care. Its not about the tax....
You Said It!Not looking at getting into a pissing match.... all governments are greedy when it comes to taking and spending other people's money!
I am pretty sure that is exactly what they already do for Canada.But did they say if they are going to collect the Australian GST and pay it to your government?
Ahhh...I am pretty sure that is exactly what they already do for Canada.
Good clarification.
Question: is the requirement to pay tax on foreign goods a totally new concept in your country or something that’s been unsuccessful on a voluntary basis, like we experienced in California with out-of-state purchases?
