New Zealand tax authorities have published a consultation document considering proposals to bring all services supplied to New Zealand residents within the scope of GST and selectively zero-rating services that are physically consumed outside New Zealand. The proposal focuses on cross-border supplies of electronically delivered services (eg ebooks, music downloads and software purchased from offshore websites). Businesses are invited to respond to the consultation by 25 September 2015. Australia is expected to join the countries that apply GST to imported e-services in 2017. See www.bit.ly/1NCgYik.
