I'm an Aussie dealer, and one of my packages is stuck at customs. Does anyone from Australia know whether I have to pay GST on the coins (which originated from Australia, and this is specified on the box) or whether I should pay GST on the grading fee, or whether I shouldn't pay GST at all. Sorry, if this isn't exaclty the right board for it.
G'day, there is an old thread about this. My understanding is that Oz coins are money, or cash ... and as such, neither a good nor a service. Also financial transactions, per se, are not subject to GST, but whether the repatriation of Oz coins is an exempt transaction, I have no idea.
As the grading fee was paid outside Oz, I'd be astonished if that was taxable inside Oz.
Customs have opened a few of my parcels, but I've never been queried as to GST, excise, duty, etc.
Coins are subject to GST, however you don't have to pay GST on return of goods internationally - make sure to declare them as 'returned goods' when bringing them in.
