The application of the goods and services tax to imported goods that cost less than $A1,000 has been delayed by 12 months, and will now take effect as from 1 July 2018. The measure has been welcomed by Australian retailers such as Harvey Norman, but slammed by online retail providers such as EBay and Amazon, which have threatened to prevent Australian consumers from using their portals if they were compelled to collect the GST.
