GST applies to most imports over $1,000. GST is 10% of the value of the goods you have imported. You generally need to pay this to the Department of Home Affairs before you can receive the goods.
There is a scheme where you can pay your GST later. This is called the deferred GST scheme (DGST), and there are eligibility requirements.
If you are registered for the deferred GST scheme, you don’t need to pay GST until after the goods are imported and you lodge your next activity statement.
If you’re registered for GST, you may be able to claim a credit for any GST paid on goods you import for your business.
