Thread: Parts from UK

I have been reading this thread with interest as I purchase 95% of my parts from OS, Rimmer Bros in particular.

By accident I scrolled over a little pop up notice as attached. It gives a good understanding of their position when it comes to parts being sent overseas.

I will give credit to Rimmer Bros, the GST change was ready to go on the 1 July and there was never a mess around or delay in getting parts.

Hope this bit of info can clear a bit of the rumour.

Thanks for posting that.

I don't get the bit where Rimmers say if you're registered for GST (aka have an ABN) it is not applied to the order.

I've got one and so do plenty of others on aulro.

I don't know either. It may be worth an email and asking for more details. I also have a ABN and are registered for GST.

It may be you have to have a seperate trade account with them.. not sure.

Might be worth the email for sure.

I reckon this is one that's gone through to the keeper.

At the end of the day if you claim 100% of your car and have an ABN you get it all back anyway if you pay it when ordering.

If you have an ABN and no car you could buy parts with no GST applied.

(After all it is the tax we were never going to have. )

It may just be their understanding of it also. I could imagine it was a handful to take in. But saying that, they have had the VAT for some time now and my understanding is that the GST system is similar.

But you are 100% right. If you do use your car for business, it's all claimable.

I think they may be assuming GST is like VAT, that is if VAT is not applied if you are registered for VAT in the motherland and it doesn't have to be paid on business purchases (if that's how it works over there in the Antipodes).

VERY happy to be corrected on this by one of the English members.

K.I.S.S., Roverlord is competitive, offers service second to none and has all my orders delivered in under twenty-four hours, from regional Vic to regional Qld.

Hey guys, sorry to resurrect an old thread but ive been trawling the gov websites and forums and can't find a clear definition.

Looking to place a larger order from Paddocks in the UK and want to avoid paying import duty, due on orders with an assessed value over A$1000. Very simply, what is the definition of assessed value?

Do i need to keep my order of parts + shipping + GST to less than A$1000?
Or are GST and/or shipping not included in the "assessed value"

Someone put me out of my misery please! Cheers
