 As of the 1st of July, 2017, the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service (ACBPS) will collect GST on all imported goods below the value of $1000. 10% GST import tax will apply to ensure Australian booksellers have a fair and competitive advantage when competing with overseas publishing houses. This will enable an increase in Australian book sales, will promote and make known often struggling authors and enable Australian Publishing houses and associated bookstores to further grow the domestic market.
In August 2015, the Australian Government announced it would be implementing the procedure and hope this would spark greater support for the book and publishing industry.
