Enforcing tax on overseas companys?? Clearly you do not understand that the final user (ie YOU) pays the GST. I am afraid most of the members on this forum are greedy penny pinchers who refuse to pay there fair share of tax. The $1000 GST free may derive from the concession to overseas travellers. Perhaps each person should be allowed this just once per year, whether travelling overseas or not.
What is more Australian than a fair and even market? At the moment it is skewed towards foreign sellers.
Just wait a few years and we shall be just like Europe with a GST of 20-25%. Then we shall hear the same members now posting here, have a real whinge!
