Practical Guide – Australia GST and Customs Duties for Cross-Border E-Commerce Sellers
This practical guide covers Australia's GST and customs duty obligations for cross-border e-commerce sellers. It addresses the Low Value Imported Goods (LVIG) regime, which applies GST at 10% on goods valued at AUD 1,000 or below sold to Australian consumers, with liability falling on offshore sellers, electronic distribution platforms, or re-deliverers meeting the AUD 75,000 registration threshold. The guide also outlines customs duty requirements for higher-value consignments, import declarations, and tariff classifications. Key compliance considerations include registration obligations, marketplace operator responsibilities, record-keeping requirements, and the interaction between GST and customs duty on imported goods, providing actionable guidance for international sellers targeting the Australian market.
PPWR: EU Packaging Waste Regulations
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) represents a significant overhaul of packaging rules across the European Union, introducing mandatory recyclability standards, reduced packaging waste targets, and extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes. For businesses, compliance will require adjustments to packaging design, supply chains, and reporting obligations. The regulation impacts importers, manufacturers, and retailers operating within EU markets, with VAT and customs implications arising from packaging cost structures and cross-border trade adjustments. Tax professionals should note how EPR fees and compliance costs may affect deductibility calculations and transfer pricing arrangements for multinational groups operating across EU member states.
