- Non-resident Amazon FBA sellers must register for Australian GST if their annual sales to Australian consumers exceed AUD 75,000, with no threshold exemption applicable to them through Amazon.
- Australia has a standard 10% GST rate, and while Amazon is responsible for collecting and remitting GST on low-value imported goods (under AUD 1,000), sellers are still required to be registered and compliant.
- Registration for GST is done online via the ATO, and non-compliance carries significant risks, including backdated liabilities, penalties, interest, and potential suspension of the seller’s Amazon account.
