The Australian government has introduced new legislation that will, if not altered, require online marketplaces to collect GST on any sales into Australia, even if the seller sells less than the $75,000 threshold that would require them to collect GST.
The new law would not only increase costs for any goods you buy from overseas, but it also sets a dangerous precedent for Australian makers who export their goods through platforms like E...

That's why we're testifying before the Senate this week, and asking you to sign this petition opposing the new law.
Please sign our petition and tell the government you don't want a new tax on online overseas purchases.
