As an overseas business supplier of Goods into New Zealand, how will this change affect my business?

If the total supplies of goods into New Zealand on B2C basis exceeds NZD$60,000 in a 12 month period, overseas Businesses will be required to register for the New Zealand goods and services tax (GST) effective from 1 December 2019. Registered businesses will be required to pay GST to the Inland Revenue via their GST Returns filed periodically. Businesses may include online shopping platforms, independent merchants and mailbox re-delivery service providers.

GST on LVG should be charged and collected from Consumers at point of sale by the Businesses. 

Aramex / Fastway as a Courier company will NOT be responsible for paying GST to Inland Revenue in New Zealand and the responsibility to pay and file GST rests solely with the non-resident supplier, marketplace and redeliverers supplying Goods into New Zealand.
