How would it work for those many Hong Kong suppliers who already state in their ebay ads that GST may or may not be collected even on items over $1000?
This whole thing is really politically driven and surely not a real attempt to increase revenue. The cost of collection was deemed to high way back when the GST was first introduced. Surely that cost in 2015 has only increased a lot. So its a loss making plan whilst seeming to increase revenue for the States? Is it a backdoor way of giving the States more money without having to say you are giving them money from the Federal Budget? Who pays for the increased costs of collection - the Federal Govt?
Seems like sleight of hand to me.
