This is an important message from HobbyLink Japan to our customers in Australia.
In order to comply with new legislation by the Australian government, HobbyLink Japan will begin collecting Goods and Services Tax of 10% on the cost of items being shipped to Australia beginning Sunday, July 1st 2018 AEST.
If you are shipping to an Australian address, you’ll now see an “Estimated tax to be collected” amount when checking out, as in the screenshot below.
GST will only be charged to you when your ordered items become available and enter payment processing. At that time, the GST amount for the items in your order will be calculated and charged to you in the same transaction.
GST will only be calculated on merchandise, and not shipping costs. It will also appear listed on your invoice.
