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 overseas visitors taking goods out of the Gallery with them. 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. Obviously too, the saving on GST with large furniture items can be quite significant and help considerably towards the cost of international freight.
OVERSEAS VISITORS MAY BE ABLE TO CLAIM GST BACK (Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS)) On their departure from Australia, visitors 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 suppliers ABN (Australian Business Number), that GST was paid on the goods, and how much the GST was. A few conditions apply to the process:
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. |
