International Transformers retails and Australian GST. What retailers are doing.

[DELTAprime]

As people may know the Australian government as of the start of the 2018/19 financial year on the 1st of July will require the store to collect GST on behalf of the Australian government. This is going to affect us Transformers collectors.

So far we have word from two retailers as to what will happen as of the 1st of July.

Amazon - Amazon will block Australians from buying items from all non-Australian Amazon sites.

BBTS- BBTS will collect GST. Note that it sounds like they are collecting GST on items already paid for sitting in your POL, so ship existing POLs quickly.

Amiami- Amiami will be charging GST as of the 1st on all orders under $1000 AUD.

Ebay- Ebay is charging GST on all private sales. Larger sellers that have an ABN can apply for an exemption meaning their customers will not be charged 10% on eBay, because the seller should be collecting GST in their sale price.

I'll try to keep this list updated but mods feel free to add more TF stockist to the list if I don't see them.
