So in light of that, my reply directly to Sean might be OK for general consumption: I know about the reverse - under New Zealand law it's where the Service is provided, so if you are providing a Service within New Zealand then yes you charge GST no matter where the customer is - this was the advice we received for running the NZNOG conference, as the conference is a Service and not Goods (attempting desperately here to somehow get this on-topic for the list...). Goods are different, exported Goods are not liable for GST. Gerard On 19/11/2009 5:54 p.m., Skeeve Stevens wrote:
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.

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.
