Do people buying part's or even cars in australia that live overseas have to pay GST & LST.

I would say that if the seller, lives in Australia and has to remit GST then yes.

No. Only OZ taxpayers pay GST.

There is no GST applicable to export sales.

I think you can get a GST refund as you are leaving the country. That's how it works in most places.

If an Australian resident you must be registered for GST to claim it back, and also in order to register for GST you have have a current ABN

Thanks for the info everyone.

Iv'e bought heaps of gear from the states lately, i still find it odd that i have to pay GST over here for parts that i bought elsewhere even if seccond hand.

You do??

I have brought a bit from the states, and I don’t recall ever paying GST on any of it.

Where or when is the GST added or payed?

Custom's stop anything worth more than $1oooau including shipping, iv'e ordered 3 lot's of head unit's since chrismas and all have been stopped. I tried using a custom's broker for a set of brakes i bought and they slugged me gst and import duty as they weren't made in the usa.

Arr yes the over $1000 thing.

I have always kept my orders under a grand but have been told if you buy something that is over $1000 get it sent in to half’s

Like if you buy a set of heads pay for the heads in2 payments and get on head sent on Monday then the other head sent on Tuesday.

Don’t know apparently it works.
