The E is not eBay.................................the other one.

This is an email received.

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...

We're concerned about the consequences of passing such a law. Australia would be the first country to require foreign sellers and marketplaces to collect and remit GST on any item, no matter how small.

Other countries will likely follow suit, meaning you could be required to collect and remit VAT, GST, or sales tax on any goods you export to other countries.

If every country were to pass these kinds of laws, we believe microbusiness exports around the world would plummet, especially through global marketplaces 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.

Thank you for your help!

The Australian Government only has jursdiction over persons/companies inside Australian Territory.

It could however take away Ebay Au's licence to trade here.
