About GST (Goods & Service Tax)


INTRODUCTION

The GST is a tax on most items purchased within Australia and is set at 10%.  All businesses (with a few exceptions) providing goods and/or services, are obliged to add 10% to the cost of their products.   The tax applies only to those goods and services intended for use within Australia.

 

OUR PRODUCTS 'EXPORTED' OVERSEAS CAN BE SOLD GST FREE

Goods sold to overseas purchasers, eg. via the internet, can be provided free of GST.  This situation applies to those items that we actually send overseas.  It does not apply to goods delivered to anyone within Australia. 

It is often the case with smaller, higher priced  items, eg. some of our more elaborate jewellery boxes, that the saving on GST pays for the postage involved in us 'exporting' it.

 

CUSTOMERS MAY BE ABLE TO CLAIM GST BACK (Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS))

On their departure from Australia, customers taking goods out that are intended as overseas gifts are able to claim a credit for the GST paid on any purchase (of at least AU$300) from the one store.  All that is required as proof of purchase is a 'Tax Invoice' (our normal till receipt) that shows the supplier's ABN (Australian Business Number), that GST was paid on the goods, and how much the GST was.

A few conditions apply to the process:

  • There must have been at least AU$300 spent at the one retail outlet and a 'Tax Invoice' for those goods is available for presentation to customs on your departure. 

  • The AU$300 may be made up of several smaller items that total AU$300 or more.

  • The goods to which the refund will be claimed must be carried with you as hand luggage when leaving the country.

  • The refund is claimed at TRS booths of international air terminals within Australia.

 

CALCULATING THE GST

All prices shown on our web-site are inclusive of GST.  As an example, a product selling for $110 contains GST of $10, ($100 + 10% = $110).

To calculate the GST component of a retail price, take one-eleventh off the retail price, eg. $110/11 = $10 GST.

Further information is available on request.
