Sorry Steve... but while at the fringe of relevancy, we have operators dealing in both countries, like Vocus and others who are frequently moving equipment, parts and so on back and forwards, so the knowledge is useful.
It is not relevant at all past the sort of conversation you have at a pub. I Highly doubt that there is anyone that will give you advice on taxes on this list that will also allow for liability to fall to them when it goes terribly wrong. I also doubt the tax man would take "But there was this guy on the NZNOG list that said it was OK" as a viable excuse. If you want tax advice, goto a tax accountant. If you want network advice, goto a networking person. If you are having problems with Itchy toes then goto a Doctor. It's not rocket science people. -- Steve.

Also, if you want to be 100% certain, you have quite possibly chosen th wrong list to post your question to as this isn't really an operational issue.

Hey all,
We have a customer in NZ, and we sold them a router for a site in Auckland. I think they paid for it via their Australian bank account - which means they paid Australian GST.
We shipping it to NZ via TNT.
What I am wondering is - when it lands in NZ, do they again have to pay NZ GST?
When I buy things from say - Singapore, I pay it ex-GST and then Fedex demands the GST before they release it to me here.
Is it the same with NZ? Should we have sold it to them ex-GST in Australia because the router is leaving the country?
Yes, same here and yes, ex-GST sale unless the NZ customer does business in Australia and is registered for GST there.
