My sellers are Chinese sellers, not Australian. Therefore, Ebay collects GST from them. However, I can not see any GST in payment or check out or receipt. I contacted these Chinese sellers and they said they couldn't offer any tax invoices.
I asked Ebay consultants and they advised me to register for a business account to see tax invoices rather than using a personal account. However, I have to pay the fee as an Ebay-seller even I do not sell anything.
I am not sure if with a business account, I could have a tax invoice or not. Is it worth to create a business account?
If they are a business seller and are registered for GST they will automatically send a tax invoice.....most sellers will state this in the listing. If they miss sending it you can ask after the parcel arrives.
Not all businesses are registered for GST....if they are not registered they cannot provide a tax invoice.
Is your ebay account personal or business? I couldn't see any gst on my payment or receipt. I am using a personal account to buy items for my business.
Aside from the fact that Lyn passed away a couple of years ago, it doesn't matter if your account is personal or business - what matters is if the seller is an Australian business registered for GST with an ABN etc.

·3 years agoNo, don't create a business account.
You aren't going to get a tax invoice from China because they don't pay taxes in Australia.
