Is it like the US colo servers a
lot of us have? Where we don’t pay Australian taxes? Well, we never
have... but I like Seans question though.

Hi All,
Long time reader, first time
poster in NZNog.
I have a question r.e. provision
of services + GST.
I know this one’s been
covered by our accountants/legal etc, but Im still curious as to common
perception.
I have a server in Sydney, that
I lease out to a NZ client. They pay in $AUD, but are 100% located in NZ.
Do I charge them Australian GST?
Do they need to pay NZ GST
instead ?
I.e. it’s an exported
service, nothing ever touches down in NZ.

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.
