the productivity commission is looking to put GST on all overseas online purchases,
Australia has always been at a geographical disadvantage when it comes to trade, but the advent of the Internet changed that. Small Australian businesses can now trade easily and economically with the rest of the world. But global ecommerce only works effectively when it is ‘frictionless’ which is why no other country has restricted their ecommerce economy by putting a GST on all imports, including low cost ones. In an increasingly global economy, this is a dangerous precedent by the Australian Government and a backward step in a time when we should be embracing the technological opportunities for Australian businesses, not putting red tape on them.
