Re: 400 More Rare Books For Auction!

If you had have bought it prior to July 1, 2018, you would have got it 10% cheaper, ie the latest GST slug on overseas purchases. Amazon won't process orders from Australia. They refuse to become (unpaid) tax collectors for the Australian Tax Office. Good on them! Col. |

Re: 400 More Rare Books For Auction!
Thanks Col. Well aware of that site. But cheaper used from Abebooks.
As for the application of GST, I understand where our Govt is coming from. I have bought a lot of models from OS, usually 15-25% cheaper than the LHS price (there was even more saving before the AU$ eased). Call me disloyal, but you can't ignore savings like that, especially when you buy significant value as I have. I would imagine there are/were many others doing the same as me. It all adds up. Maybe I'm biased (having an ATO past), but I think the move is justified, and provides a boost for local business. And why should O/S business be allowed to sell retail in Australia GST-free? Now I have an arrangement with my LHS for a standing discount, plus with also having to pay 10% GST on O/S purchases, the local market looks much better. That's got to be good for Australia. A pain maybe for O/S sellers, but let's face it, they have a choice and could do the same as Amazon. Peter |

They're strangely averse to becoming UK tax payers as well.
