25.01.2022 It won't work and is a lose lose
23.01.2022 The Productivity Commission is currently taking submission as part of an inquiry into adding GST to low value online goods. It will reduce consumer choice and protections, limit competition, drive up prices, add red tape, could cost more money than it raises and it might not even work! Take action now and send them a message at www.KeepShoppingOpen.com.au
22.01.2022 A delay is only halfway there. This new tax is a lose lose
21.01.2022 The Government wants to add a 10% tax on your online overseas shopping, but they haven't even done their sums to know if it will cost more than it collects! Tell them this new tax is a bad idea at www.keepshoppingopen.com.au
16.01.2022 Introducing GST on low value online purchases may drive many overseas vendors to avoid trusted marketplace platforms and start selling to Australia direct. That means they can avoid collecting GST. It also gives Australians less protection from shonky overseas sellers. Tell the Productivity Commission to https://KeepShoppingOpen.com.au/
15.01.2022 Consumers don't want this new tax on online purchases - tell the Government to Keep Shopping Open
15.01.2022 The Productivity Commission is looking at models to add GST on online overseas purchases under $1000. We have 5 days to make a submission saying that this new tax won't work and will raise less revenue than it costs. Send a message now at https://keepshoppingopen.com.au/
15.01.2022 The Department of Immigration and Border Protection already has an efficient system for collecting GST on online overseas purchases over $1,000. Why create a whole new one, which is expected to have low compliance and could raise very little revenue? Tell the Productivity Commission to www.KeepShoppingOpen.com.au
13.01.2022 "Treasury admitting the lack of a Regulation Impact Statement was in breach of the Office of Best Practice Guidelines." Send the Government a message that consumers don't want this new tax - keepshoppingopen.com.au
13.01.2022 There’s nothing to stop overseas sellers from collecting GST from Australian customers via their own websites, and pocketing it. So you could end up paying more, and Australia gets no revenue. It’s a lose, lose! Tell the Productivity Commission to https://keepshoppingopen.com.au/
11.01.2022 The Productivity Commission’s last report stated that if overseas sellers experience GST related costs, those cost increases will likely be passed onto Australian consumers. That means you can expect to pay much more than just 10% GST to cover all that admin. Tell the Productivity Commission to https://keepshoppingopen.com.au/
11.01.2022 RTYI https://www.lifehacker.com.au//the-government-is-clueless/
10.01.2022 The Government has already admitted they have no power to enforce compliance or chase GST on low value online purchases from Non Resident Suppliers, and doing so would actually breach other countries’ sovereignty. Tell the Productivity Commission to https://keepshoppingopen.com.au/
10.01.2022 If the Government introduces GST on all overseas online purchases, many overseas sellers and marketplaces will stop selling to Australia, because it will be too complicated and costly. That means less choice for all of us. Tell the Productivity Commission to https://keepshoppingopen.com.au/
07.01.2022 The Government admitted they haven’t done a Regulatory Impact Statement breaching the Office of Best Practice Guidelines. So they have no idea whether the proposed GST collection model for overseas online shopping and enforcement of overseas compliance will actually generate any revenue or create a real level playing field. It just doesn’t add up. Tell the Government that this is a bad idea at https://keepshoppingopen.com.au/
02.01.2022 Introducing GST on low value online goods from overseas is bad news for Australia. It will reduce choice and consumer protections, drive up prices and could cost more to administer than it raises! Tell the Productivity Commission to www.KeepShoppingOpen.com.au
02.01.2022 #KeepShoppingOpen
01.01.2022 The new tax means products you can currently only buy from overseas via the internet will no longer be available. Because the new tax means many overseas sellers will stop selling to Australia. This is a backward step in a global economy. Tell them this is a bad idea by signing the petition at https://keepshoppingopen.com.au/
01.01.2022 The Government estimated they will actually lose money collecting GST on all overseas online transactions worth less than $600! Since the average online purchase is worth $100, that’s a huge potential loss. Can’t they do the maths? https://keepshoppingopen.com.au/
